I wont be out that far either Mike. I wont be looking for Tuna either, I will leave that to almost everyone else.

Thanks Charlie but I have agreed with my crew that we will go somewhere, its just where that has to be agreed :-) Might be tempted to follow you tho

I have had a fantastic June & July and would love to top it off with a summer trip to the wrecks or brittlestars. I have never had any luck out there so maybe its my time?? My crew are not so keen (as we have been having great results inshore) and I wont go out there as a single boat so I would be interested to know if any others are heading out that way on Sunday? Maybe if there are others out that way I might be able to persuade them. Edit: Have just looked at the forcast and I doubt I will be heading out . I suppose most will be tuna hunting over Portland way

you are certainly making the most of that Yak mate. Good result!

I have recently taken out insurance with them. Saved me a few quid and the cover looks better too.

I have the Garmin 750s and find it perfect. The touch screen works with ragworm, mackerel or squid (or any combination of the above). No more fiddly than small buttons when swinging or bobbing. I would happily recommend it.

Alton Towers is good, Jim, and you won't have to get your boat wet. nor remove the cobwebbs & moss that has grown on it

Hi Andrew ..... we are a friendly bunch, join in and you will get on just fine.

ha ha .... maybe i need a new one too. I only need to look at mine and it wants fuel!!

surely Cobbs should have known that and maybe informed it's customers??

Very nice Martin ... well done!

Anyone in management .... can you imagine the Risk Assessment and Method Statement for that!!!

Just not beneath me!!

Well we headed West .... the wind & water was rougher than we had expected and the tide was much stronger than we had been hoping for too but we did manage our desired species. A 14 1/2LB Tope was the best we could do but it was still a Tope Other commitments mean thats it for me for a fortnight new .... I hope I dont miss too much nice weather.

Personally I rarely have any joy on Poole patch (although there are always lots of boats fishing out there). I have had bream there, but (for me) its mainly doggies!

shocking!!

I am looking to continue my lucky streak and get out Sunday. I was hoping to try somewhere far out but the weather window seems to be moving back more every time I look. So maybe I will just try one of the banks for some rays or out a little further in the look for some larger tope? Is anyone else out?

Good to see you back Ben and some very nice pics too.

lovely looking boat ... I walked up Wareham River a few weeks ago and saw it out there. Shame its gotta go, but needs must at times

I am a fan of in close to the cliffs at Ballard Lofty. I have had some very good days there.

I will be out that way tomorrow from about mid day.

Thanks Tom, It was partly to help with my trip planning in the hope that maybe I can "go with the flow" rather than always be battling the flow of the tide. Many thanks.

I am sure I should know this but to assist with my setting up ready for drifting and with my trip planning, when the tide is on the ebb does it run from East to West or the other direction?? Thanks.
