nice catch report! sure looked a cold day! what do you do for the initial take? we have just left the rods in the holder, wating for a screaming reel... which alas has never occured... :S Dan

is it me... or does this look like a uni knot tied backwards?? doing the loops first, then going around them all...

ah just thought (well read further down...) what about the rays???

could be expensive as weights or hooks.... what about a bead or tube to go on the trace above the hooks? now all we need is a supply of some neodymium, iron and boron...... anyone? as of last week, i could really do with this revalation! Dan

http://www.explorethesouthwestcoastpath.co.../poole43_sm.jpg rather him than me! 1 - are they really gona be there through winter??? - 3deg celsius 2moz! 2 - What time frame is the limit based on? - number of anglers onboard (does the dog count? ) - time out fishing ( i.e. short or long trip) etc... tbh this sounds like something that will be so hard to fully enforce it will end up being ignored, similar to anglers selling their catch... (if that was enforced, there would be no need for this new limit surely?? ) also, wouldnt this lead to the failings already seen in the commercial market? : " oh ive caugnt my cod quota (yer right for me,... ), lets fish for conger now... oh no ive caught another cod, swallowed the hook, dead... lets throw it back!" Dan

just a quick question... how is this bag limit enforced on a private boat? Dan

I dnt really fish for flatties (well never have yet.... ) and that would mean i need to buy even more line! I stick to the 25lb stuff as its supple enough ( methinks :S), and isnt too fiddly for tying knots! did you mean this as use the 25lb amnesia as a shockleader? Dan

thanks for that guys! speedy response! I think ill add a leader of 40lb, as per charlies advice, as im not fishing wrecks, or for conger, and dont really want to faff about changing it for everywhere i go! now the killer question : what brand! already using 25lb black amnesia for smaller hook snoods ( below 2/0 ), so might just get some more of this, or any other reccomendations : greased weasel / shops ownbrand / Penn tuffs stuff etc..... any others? Dan

cheers for that martin n andy, if im using 30lb braid, what breaking strain leader should i be using? more or less? and how long? Dan

reading over on the evil twin (WSF ) theres a fair amount on leaders for boat fishing, in both the articles and forum posts! just wondering who actually uses a leader attached to braid? and is it worth it? I used to have one, but lost it in a major snag (aaaaages ago now), and have never felt the need to replace it :S I usually fish a ledger with a zipslider running up the mainline (braid). Dan

cheers mate... there are people under 85 on this site Dan (only joking,, i ment 70 really )

2018,, haha and so true....

nice cod! where you just using squid? Dan

never had much success fishing bait for bass! (or anything for that matter ) what type of rig do you use? nice catch btw! Dan

right click, open with, select programme from list, windows photo manager ( a really light programme)

if ur using firefox, you need to right click the image, then open as. firefox doesnt seem to like the piccy thumbnails! Dan

sounds pretty good, but is a mothership gonna be in a harbour (for nightlife), permanent mooring (houseboat style) or just roaming around? Dan

hahaha funny

? ?????????

just had one of 9lb! theyre definately still here! Dan

ah yes.... lol but a tender surely 85hp isnt a bit overkill... just precautious for a tender.... Dan
