Maverick Martin

Mark I would probably drift the rips but would be guided by more experienced members who have fished the mark before? Martin

Charlie Talking to Mr. Caines on our recent trip that you might of heard about, he said that the pollock are on the channel marks first with cod coming in a little later and that the next week or two should see their arrival. So fingers crossed that he is right as I have enough Pollock in the freezer. Adam any date for me is fine except for club comps which I will be fishing in preference to other excursions. Martin

Hi I have Rapala electronic scales, they are very good although it is difficult to get a true reading on the boat as they are quite sensitive. Still better than the cheap spring balance kind though. I paid around

Adam I think you'll find that the week-end of the 12th, 13th June is our 48 hour specimen hunt Martin

Tides for Sunday 6th June at Poole entrance Low water 0640 height 0.4 High water 1259 height 1.94 Low water 1909 height 0.62 as Newboy says quite large tides Martin

26.38 miles from my house Half way to Alderney huummmm Martin

Hi Adam Yep I am up for it. I would launch from Poole, I think it is slightly more than 20 miles but will check that. A mid tide would be best to avoid the worst of the chop given by big tides on marks like this. A smaller tide would also save us on fuel as you would probably want to drift this mark for cod + pollock etc. Who else is up for it? Martin

1 kilo = 2.2lb

If you decide to move your axle a little tip to help keep everything square is to mark the current position with an indelible marker pen. That way you can be sure that both sides of the axle are moved the same distance. The other advantage of marking the current position is that you can relocate the axle in the origonal place if needed. Martin

Hi Mark Yes we caught fish on Storm lures on Tiger Lilly, I for one caught the biggest pollock on Tiger Lilly at around 12lb on the first wreck we visited. Several pollock and pout were caught using them. I will definately be giving them a real go on Maverick Martin

You can adjust the nose weight by moving the axle. Most axles are just bolted in position so a few bolts undone move the axle then do em up again. This is more awkward than moving the boat up and down the frame to get the required nose weight but your boat does stay in the manufacturers suggested area. Martin

Adam you have an email Martin

Do you have a best side Rich Martin

Sorry Rich no caps yet but I will puit one aside for you when the new order goes in Martin

Hi all The trip over was brilliant albeit a little rough no one ill!. This is the first time I have wreck fished seriously. We gave the Wild eye Storm shads a thorough trial and can report that I am a convert; I will be trying these on trips from my own boat. The first wreck we fished saw pout and Pollock coming over the gunnels. I achieved my PB Pollock of around 12lb on this wreck (those who took photos could you send them to me). Wreck no 2 gave up more Pollock and Ling. We then made our way to the island and drifted a few miles of the island but not much there. Arrived at the island and made our way to the accommodation which looked a bit iffy on the outside but wow anglers

Cheers for the sympathy lads, we are all back safe and sound. In spite of the weather it was thoroughly enjoyable. I think most of the other guys that went enjoyed the experience as well. We are already thinking about next years foray. I am totally kna@@ered so will up date you fully later Martin

LOL I like that reply coddy. I think you will fit in admirably Martin
