Good to see you active Les, and good to see you last night after the comp. See you in a fortnight for the specimen hunt.

Regards, Rich

........................and all fish expertly netted, might I add!!!!!

Great start james, well finished, a deserved winner!!! Thanks for the evening out, Adam is right, Tara the porcupine and her hectic rebaiting skipper Jimbob! Look forward to the next venture out, cheers chap.

Rich

Rich was donning a wooley hat 'cos Rich is bald as a coot!!!

Took up an invitation to do an afternoon/ evening bash for smoothies and Ray from Jimbob, on Tara, couldn't resist, such a blinding day inland!!!!

What a difference out in the Solent! Sea mist, a slight chop, no sun, but the troops enjoyed!

A quick blat over to the trusty Sconce Bouy to bag a few Mackeral, and did they oblige or what? One drift and the bait box was full, so off east toward the Boom.

On anchoring up, the baits were fired out, Tara looked like a porcupine. I had heard of Jimbob's tactics, but never witnessed them

The fish began to come, not as fast as last visit, but never the less, sport was excellent. Smoothies on light tackle, great fun, and even the larger Bream put in an appearance, even though the mark is renowned for smaller fish.

"No doggies yet", was Jimbob's comment, and just to oblige.............in they came!!! With no Ray showing, we up sticks and head in closer to the River mouth, and gave that a bash for about an hour, a few other small boats around us. No luck there either, off back to the slip, and she's out of the water as quick as she was in, great sesh James, cheers chap, and it looks like your club record is safe for the moment Adam

Rich

Martin, consider yourself PM'd

Rich

Martin.................top baits, in theory are King Rag, and fresh Mackeral strips, but you know that Stingers can't read the textbooks!!!!!

Regards, Rich

The largest I have known caught off Sowley, apart from the old British shore record, was one of 37lbs.............fell to king rag

Nice one Charlie...............mind out that that clumsy cluts doesn't knock the mackeral into the sea.............buckets are expensive

Rich

Skate do respond to a whiffier bait!!!

BB.........regards the brownie points, deposit them safely in the brownie point bank.......they earn good , not great interest!!!!!!

Glad to hear you had a good day, regards,

Rich

By the way Adam, Ive got some pics of the Stinger, would you like me to mail 'em to you??

Also a couple of greg holding his smotthies, if you excuse me.

Deb says.......Crumbs hes holding that tight!!!

Rich

Superb, do stingers like a smelly bait?????? If so, I'll ask Ted off Due South if he can grab some Mackeral for me the day before we are due to go, that way they will be smaelly by the time we fish, what do you think??

Rich

Charlie...................I really think that you should note that the fish was hooked outside club waters............and only fell into our area of responsibility after being uncerimoniously dragged across the sea bed by Adam, and only then falling into PBSBSAC territory.

Great day Adam............thanks chap, and remember ........ no farmers knots tied by helmets please!

Regards, Rich

Available for crew evenings or days this week..............maybe an evening bash for Stingers Adam???

Regards Rich

Nice one Adam, seems you can't keep a good man down

psssssssssssst.........no one tell James!!!

Out Tanned AND outfished!!!!!!!

Well done greg, and despite what big brother says........youre not a helmet!

Well done, Rich

Adam.............great day out today, thanks a million............BW certainly goes well, looks like I will be swayed in that direction finally.

Mmmmmmmmm, a new club record then..............bloomin' show off!!!!

Oh, and Bob F still couldnt make it!!!!!

Great day, thanks again,

Rich

Spot on BB..............shame the Bream couldnt rock the scales a little heavier!!!!!

Rich

Bob.............I'm a yes yes for the weekend I know I'm out with James on Friday evening, but as far as I know, I'm available for crew sat and sun.........

Cheers, Rich

I've asked in Poindesters this evening, regarding the great unwashed!!!! They will get back to me soonest.

Regards, Rich

I never knew Mackeral were invented back then , Mikey!!!!!

Rich

Failing that Mikey...........just buy a takeaway

Rich

Unfortunately, due to my accident, I missed the trip out on sat............sun however, we nipped down to south wales, and I had a species hunt of my own........I mananged one!!!!!! A blinkin' eel! All that after the great write up on sole in Sea Angler!!!!!!

A truly miffed Rich!
