With seeing an opening Friday am and fishing Sunday, it was all too short notice with plans And and I both had. So to squeeze it in was the only way, and that we did. Certainly won't forget tuna bigger than the dolphins being close enough to poke with a boat hook! Think I'll be early to bed tonight! R

No need to say anything

Well it was one for the day and Ad picked the correct straw for first go. There was so much wildlife out there, dolphins, birds, whales spotted. And tuna, plenty of them, next to the boat, under the boat. The crew worked hard, swapping lures and size / colours if teasers. They could have not done more. We were also allowed to help, let lines out, bring them in, change our gear. All in all we were all part of the crew, as it should be as far as I am concerned. I've never used my binoculars so much! Great day, memories and can't wait to be back. I think I can speak for Steve and Adam in saying it was superb, game fishing in the UK. Oh and Dorset to Falmouth and back on a day with 11 hours on a boat, is a long day! Pics of Adam and his catch, plus the lure of the day! R

I've not been to the club meetings for a while, caught up with Steve S and Charlie C. Talk turned to big game in the West Country. Discussion about Autumn 2022. Suddenly brought forward Friday, and today Steve S, AdamF and myself are out looking for tuna. So much life out here, 1 dropped lure and one to the side of the boat,..........so far! Great experience none the less, but we'd like one each! R

Enjoy!

Good effort, what a treat for them to only have 2 anglers onboard. R

Well, they were thick on cornwall in sept and mid Oct. Bait touched bottom for 2 seconds and we were hooked up. Mind you, 10 - 1 small to keeper ratio. R

Enjoy Pete! R

You are not wrong Jim, I did see the new “lock the door Alexa” advert and wondered why we need to power / put electronics in everything. More to break and hit landfill. R

Enjoy! R

Enjoy chaps!

On another note, if you have Amazon Prime membership for free shipping and some TV services. Also included is free unlimited photo storage. So get the app and upload away, all stored off-site should the worst happen for free.

Or get a NAS - Network attached storage. I have a Synology Nas, it plugs in to router and you be accessed from any machine on network / WiFi. Runs my surveillance camera software too. Has a app so you can see the files when out of the house also. Which, isn't used often, but great when required. You want to go wrong with Synology. Buy big so that you have have the disks mirrored. This means you have 2 copies of your data on it, meaning if one drive inside goes pop, you still have a copy, slot in a new one and it rebuilds it automatically. R

We have stayed in the harbour rentals and used the pontoons, camped and just used the slip, stayed St Mawes and launched at St Just and the only other that was was Mullion when wind was from the East. What is also nice is the north coast is only 30/60 mins away too. R

I know what you mean, got myself new wheels this year as last ones looked a bit ropey. Shot blasted, zinced and then powercoated. Hope they last quite a bit longer!!! R

You should have mentioned earlier, we saw him at the marina on Saturday. I think a few are using the new DJI action cameras. R

No, as was 3 weeks in-between and we didn't see that good weather coming, towing her doesn't slow us down by much as she is so small and light. Mind you, I do loose a handful of mpg! R

Cornish whiting

I'd been promising Ad a trip down west on JoJo for the last 4 yrs, but weather and diaries have never come together. The fact we had the chance to have 2 trips in 3 weeks was too good to pass up!!!! I think he has started planning next year's already. R

Enjoy Sir!

Well, 3 weeks later and the weather and diary gods have come together and saw Ad and I heading back to Cornwall. No faff for fuel this time, so quicker journey as the queues caused jams! Well, he wanted a Blue in good weather, on his own rods and a nice size. So JoJo found him a 100lb er........... Would saw a few bust ups in the distance, some lasting half an hour. We assume tuna of the bluefin variety. One bust up at the end of our day we shot over too, but seemed to only be a huge pod / superpod of dolphins. Still great to see! Plenty of whiting too. Now to rest and have another meal over the campfire, heaven! R

Where did you launch Jim? Cobbs? Well done for making the most of the great weather. R

Headed out in drizzle and a bit of slop this morning on JV with Adam at the helm. Headed south east and tried our usual banker banks. It was slow! Moved to another known mark and found them! But, they were on a very specific part of the bank, 20yds south or north and nothing. After getting out fill of quota, we had a cracking lunch from Adam, stew and dumplings with a side of AJ's homemade bread. Delicious! We then decided to do some exploring as we were out that way and had no need to catch more. But we did! We tried some likely looking spots, nothing and then found one that worked. Giving us more options when we are over that way next time. Nice to have the time to spend testing new water. We headed back in sunshine and and flat glorious sea, I was close to swapping to shorts. We have the mackerel a go for an hour, nothing after drowning feather around Peveril, Ballard and Swash. I think they are localised and if you did em, you find em. Ah well, always next year! Cheers, Rob

Maybe it died in shock of being used Jim! [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

I'm waiting on the sailfish to arrive!!!
