And this is why Brian is Treasurer! (We don't let Tony near Club funds) [emoji2]

Sounds like someone get their wrist slapped, shame. Are there any low hour used examples about? Just think of all the extra cleaning needed on a brand new one!! R

I think we need to know how well you did last time Malc, and if you did better than any of the club team! [emoji1][emoji1][emoji1][emoji1]

You can take a horse to water Mike.......

I won it a few years ago too. On Court Jester no less, not fished on her since (I take the hint!). Not that far out either Greg!

I find the best thing to do when using the vac packer is buy really big bags and space the mackerel out in the bag so they aren't touching. Say 5 in a bag. Put them in the bottom of the fridge to chill right down before freezing and only put 10 macs in the freezer at once. Anymore and they take too long to freeze.

Happy Birthday (Surrogate) Dad!

It's because he hasn't used it yet! Well, maybe once but the lavender and camomile hand soap with matching hand cream soon cleans these men up! I really should fit a sink on JoJo! [emoji3]

But I was hoping for tuna to congregate around the reefs!

Enjoy JimBob

Enjoy!

If it is, I can advise, that isn't me!!

Bu99er, there go our 121 new reefs that could have brought fantastic life to the area! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-34220834

I liked this thread, but it's gone on too long. Like removed!!!!!

Love the one of "Big" Charlie and Dom, where his rod is properly doubled over!!!!

Any port in a rough sea Steve!! In all seriousness, i should have said harness, but i guess that wasn't on the tip of my ...... tongue. The harness was a god send in that sea with those fish. It enabled a hand to be on the boat should a big wave break by the boat etc. I adapted a camera (SLR pro photographer one) carrying harness and some additional straps to enable the use when there are no "clip points" on the reel.

Thanks chaps, yes it was nice!!!!

So I have put together a video - tried to match the under water footage with the above water to some extent. To do it well is time i don't have! Nick said after we got back and were sat in the pub that it reminded him of when we were kids we used to fish a small local lake. The "excitement" then was when \ if you could get the chub circling in your swim for maggots being thrown. Just that time has passed, we are 25+ yrs older and the chub are now much bigger and toothier! The video is just uploading so may not be ready for a couple of hours: Rob

we did - an epic trip in fact! took in some sight too, Land's End and St Michael's Mount on Saturday as the wind got up and we were shattered. Video is a work in progress at the moment! R

Well done - I would have loved Olivia to join in, but the dates never worked! Next year!!!!

Just a little cuddle tony, this one was the biggest brought in to the boat, was 70 something, measurements / size on boat and I can't remember exactly. But we released 2 bigger ones at the side of the boat:

You wouldn't want to paddle it!!! Distance in nm is double figures.
