Try Boat launch Martin

Book in with Adam or any committee member by phone, email, PM or on the website through a posting. You must however book in before you start fishing. Normal comp rules apply except fishing times which for this comp are I believe from 5pm Friday until 5 pm Sunday The format is best specimen and there is a cost of

Tom Could possibly take out a couple but won't know for sure until nearer the date Martin

Well done Stuart Absolutely superb fish Martin

About 2 miles south east, look at your plotter/chart easy to find Martin

Your call on that one but shorter drifts over the more productive areas instead of following all the others seems logical to me. As an example on Sunday one charter boat in particular was fishing very short drifts with a few of his anglers hooking up every time they got to a particular area. We did same tactics and had similar results (in the end) from about 10:30 - 17:30 with the lions share of our fish coming on the flood. Very different, it's like an underground cliff coming up over 100' in some places. You will catch Pollock and cod plus occasional other stuff, I hear one club boat fished it Sunday and had a 3.5lb Brill. The ground is however more tackle hungry although not to bad if you keep in contact with your terminal tackle and keep it just off the bottom occasionally bouncing on it to ensure your still in the catching zone.

Dan We were trying orange, blue and mackerel look alike shads. The orange didn't do to well with the blue in second place. Streaks ahead though was the mackerel look alike shads. that's not thinking like a fish. To improve your results look for features as there are some out there, also when you catch a fish mark it on the plotter and give that section another go or two. Doing this will soon build up a picture of where the most productive areas are. A thinking angler will more often than not out fish others Martin

After a doubtful start due to weather forecasts Dean, Phil (Trevet) and myself decided to go out there Sunday. A little lumpy going but not to bad with the odd rogue wave giving us a bump. The fishing was a little slow in the morning but it did pick up pm. We ended up with about 30 fish, largest 12lb with average size being around the 4/5lb mark with a splattering of 7/8lbers The boat performed faultlessly cruising out to the mark at between 15 & 18 knots and home again at 24knots. Dean and Tom B went out on AWOL again today but I will let them report on that trip Martin

Jim I would concur with Charlie but if the forecast is set fair and you carry sufficient fuel to allow for all circumstances then it should be fine. Adam used to take his 165 out there so he might be able to give advice re quantities etc Martin

Wrong Predator and Warrior are defintely not the same boats take a look at the following websites: Predator Warrior boats Martin

Your definately older than me Dan was asking to crew on MONDAY and you are going on SUNDAY Wake up old fella Martin

Many happy returns Sam Shame you won't be fishing but hope you have plenty of shore leave to allow for the intake of plenty of loopy juice Martin

Dean and I will be out there on AWOL this Sunday Martin

Try The Aquarium project Martin

Many happy returns Dommy you young wipper snapper you Have a great fishy week-end Martin

No such thing but experience and time spent afloat will certainly help, rod hours equals tuition/experience. I have not much advice to give on Christchurch ledge other than watch where others are fishing and watch where the pots are, both good giveaways Martin

Carrying on from Dans post commercial potters don't take to kindly to peeps tying up to their pot lines for obvious reasons. You may think it does not matter but beware it does to them and their boats are bigger than yours Martin

Paul Smith Skipper of Rapid Fisher II has 2 Spare Places left at a great price of

Adam Your welcome to a trip on AWOL Bream bashing, I actually love fishing for the little blighters. Keep an eye on the forum section "Boat Buddies" and shout up when anyone asks for crew Martin

When I purchased AWOL I took out insurance cover with Craftinsure our site sponsors. A year or so ago I had to make a

Paul's one of the better skippers...you think that was scarey, just wait until you go out with the rest of us. Welcome to the club, Andy. and I taught him nearly all he knows Not really as no one could teach someone that badly Welcome Andy Oh and sorry Paul your not at all that bad ......are you? Martin
