1018.1 for me.

sorry rich I thought being an ex cop you might like a bit of high speed pursuit!

opps

If your going to stray from the nest Hide your boat

Looks like your lucky to still have an engine!

Went out yesterday bassing and managed my frirst Squid. I was getting pesterd by them all day, I thought it was cuttles until I got one to the boat, what amazing creatues they are long and fast with the undulateing colours of a cuttle but with the most HUGE eyes, It made my day and I ended up tying to catch the squid instead! As for the bass not to bad 6 or 7 on the boat best 7lb 12oz to my crew . Loads of macky out there and the weather was good . I think that was my last bass trip of the year .Im just hopeing for a good cod run Tight Lines James

Hi all I got confirmation that im in the BFM final It's to be held in Guernsey on Saturday 29th of October aboard Richard Seager's "Out of the Blue" based in St Peters Port. My ferry crossing, food and accommodation, bait and the boat is all being paid for by the Guernsey Tourist Board Its going to be a long trip - 3 days! We meet a 6am on Friday in Weymouth to catch the ferry. Then Friday and Saturday night we stay at the Ambassador Hotel. Then the ferry back is not until 9.15pm sunday, so there's plenty of time to look around the Island . The final is going to be fished on the drift and at anchor with the main species being Bream, flatfish,wrasse,pollock,dogs!,and bass. All bait is going to be provided and its fishing for points on a catch and release basis. Wish me luck James

Very poor out there last night 2 sole on Dawn raider,both to small to weigh,(we couldnt have weighed them any way with no lights ) Its amazing how your eyes ajust, it wasnt to bad at all out there with no lights. Could even tie hooks! Other species, bream , thornback ray,dogs and hoards of pout! we moved at about 10pm as we were getting one a chuck, to get two a chuck at the new spot lovely evening to be out though, be it a little cold. Cod next trip?! James

Happy birthday Paul Hope you caught a couple James

I am! What a bass . At least there are (or were!) fish like that left to catch Green with envy James

Rich,Trev When I booked the trip 3 years ago!! It was

Hi All Ive got a mid channel trip booked with Roger Bayzand on 13th october (thursday) Ive got 2/4 spaces left avalible ,If we go!! I originally booked 3 years ago! But It was canceled the last 2 years due to bad weather and rogers booked about a year in advance! Its on neaps for conger and tope 30miles out. If you want to go send me a PM or post here. James

What a cracker! well done Adam, there goes my bass trophy James

John try 1 or 2 miles SW of the xchurch ledge on the way over, or just on the edge of the ledge, straight out from highcliff on the 30 to 70ft slope .If that fails Out past the bridge about 1/2 mile of the back of the Island if there not there just keep trying further out! Good luck James

Thanks guys . Great news Charlie . Hadn't seen the results yet , I'll start makeing space on the drive!

Trevor, I too found your trial interesting, I wouldn't have thought rainbows tolerated salt water as i'm more used to using them for winter pike bait!. But saying that there so good for pike because there constantly swimmimg and working the water, so it figures that if they could handle saltwater they would make good bass bait They're not alone, Tilapia from Africa are a freshwater fish and they can take fresh to sea water in their stride also! But most fish would die instantly. Wouldn't mind a trial with those trout myself Trevor James

Hi Rich, Yes all on the same mark, in the same session Chatting to one of the commercial skippers who seems to think I might of stumbled upon one of there breeding grounds,
