So, early start, set off at sunrise. Planned to anchor and fish maccy heads from the summer to try and catch a bar of silver. Well, who would have thought I would have found 1/2 a dozen mackerel whilst feathering at anchor. So I up sticks and went on the drift. It was lovely, no Ned for gloves but still chilly. Had one of about 4 to 5 lb, then lost a biggy, braid caught round rod tip!!!! Then a smaller 45cm bass. Great day! Home boat trucked away by half 2. R

Hope so, let em be a sport fish!

900kgs capacity

54.5 inches from the centres of the mountain plate.

I have one but it is on Alun's trailer at the moment. Need to measure it though! When his new one arrives it will be available.

How small? Before we give advice I think it would be handy to know what craft you have. I have a 15ft Terhi and have fished south of the needles many times. Fished 10miles out and done a few trips with a 20+ mile return journey. Judge your craft suitability on your experience & confidence. And importantly weather conditions & more importantly, the forecast! No point going out in perfect conditions if it is going to change half way though your day! Stay safe! Rob

My slippers will be staying at home!

I would like a re-run, between Xmas and new year!

And the cod comp Steve?

Good luck all!

And I can agree, that Orkney flew along!

I think the key thing here is to tell the insurance company two things: 1: I am fitting a engine of this size 2: the boat is rated by the manufacturer to this size (which maybe less than above) Never assume the insurance company know the max HP rating for any given craft.

Ah! New prop and skeg, good luck and try not to polish it!

Blood boil! Some of the quotas are high but this brakes the mick: Dutch trawler Cornelis Vrolijk hoovers up 23% of UK’s fishing quota http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/environment/article4256582.ece

Thanks Barry! Will wait till next year and have another crack. Then 2016, year of the porgie hunt!

Sounds like it's worth a try! I have often wondered how effective hopping a lure would be at the car park. But the murky water has put me off trying!

Enjoy!

Enjoy!

Wow, club record cod!

Who doesn't like fishing with 2lb of lead and 0.5lb of squid!?!?!?

Only a mile, roll it!

^ I see one from TT
