Thats what being a grandad is all about.

Guys (n girls). I filled my tank and jerry can with petrol in September when I was using the boat regularly. Unfortunately the weather, work and other commitments conspired against me and Ive not used it since. Im pretty sure the fuel was the premium stuff but i wouldnt swear to it. We read all sorts of horror stories about old fuel on social media, but we all know that social media can be a pit of misinformation and doom n gloom. Obviously id rather not break down a few miles out to sea for the sake of a hundred quids worth of fuel so does anyone have a definitive answer about the suitability of 6 month old fuel or any additives to make it suitable? .

It would seem that is what many do. I'd never even SEEN that button up till very recently 😕

tight lines guys

its a no from me im afraid. My missus always claims me for the winter solstace and this competition clashes.

eh? Did I hear someone mention Breakfast?

Congratulations Mike and Claire I look forward to coming in and seeing you very soon.

Ill be somewhere up Snowdon this weekend. Tight lines. I hope we all have favourable weather.

I pay about £1500 a year on the trailer. I think it was £2100 last year on a pontoon. Remember there's extra time and fuel for the 3 or so miles extra each way each trip.

I saw you solo launching at Ridge the previous week (which I always find very daunting with such a steep slip). How did you find it at Baiter? I'd guess much easier (although wetter).

Once again thanks for the trip Martin. It was a beautiful October day to be out (well most of it was anyway).

That screenshot of turners cove could quite easily have been mine 🙂

Good to catch you at Ridge on Tuesday morning Martin, and see you out on the swash with Colin. We had a pretty hard days fishing on Tuesday, with a couple of plaice, couple of wrasse and a solitary bream. Im glad you managed to get yourself back off the mud rather than have to sit waiting for the tide to finish its ebb before very slowly flooding again .... And this time you told us ALL publicly that you found the mud 😉 . I hope your journey home was uneventful.

Thanks for accepting my request to join you Martin. It was a most enjoyable day with good company on a great boat, and the flat seas saved me any embarrassment of hanging over the side emptying my bacon and egg breakfast. Some nice fish and not a single dogfish! What has happened to the dogfish in recent years? Have they moved out along with the mackerel?

It WAS a fantastic game and well deserved result.
