Incredible Jim!

Very clever soundtrack Jim - assuming you used AI to create?!

Thats a big Aux for a Warrior - I used to carry a 2.5hp, sits lovely on an Aux bracket. Slow to get you home but at least you get home. Now I carry a full size 150hp Spare engine.... 🤪

Me too please

Kodiak will be out and about somewhere. Will be on Ch6 as usual

Reuben proving himself quite the bass angler...

Great job Mal & Chris - I look forward to the write up.

Kodiak's report: I had deer stalking buddy Pete onboard, and as we were locked to Sat with the breezy forecast opted to stay inshore. We fished the Patch for the morning - a little mark I found a few weeks back - a real honey hole, of what I assume are black bream nests - the sounder was wild! A 1lb box of squid was gone in no time and we were only fishing 1 rod each. But whilst it was non-stop action, the stamp of fish was very average. Best fish to me (as only member counting) was 1Lb 12oz. After a few hours of manic fishing the powerboats started up, and we soon found that we were in the middle of the racetrack. Whilst it was pretty cool to see these monsters zooming past at what I assume must have been over 60 knots, it killed the fishing pretty quickly! Pete asked it Kodiak was quick enough to keep up.... I never run her at anything like WOT, but a quick blast proved that 36 knots was still someway short! Plan B was back in the harbour out of the wind after a Gilthead. The plan worked when wind, tide and weed aligned and it was pretty hectic fishing. We had about a dozen gilts, including a new PB for me.... and only 1oz under Charlie's club record.... MAN... do they fight. I think they might just be the hardest fighting fish lb for lb we have. For Charlie's overall catch and release record, black bream - 40 fish caught, 5 retained. Gilthead, 12 caught, 3 retained. My Fish: Black Bream - 1lb 12oz Gilthead Bream - 2lb 12oz

Sea Drift - Carl and Jenny Sunday Marlin - Greg and Rob Samways Saturday Fisheagle hopes to fish. At the moment, Saturday is our preferred day. Crew myself, John Dunster and Frank Morris or a non member. Samoya - Graham, Freddie Nash & William Leaver (both juniors) Sunday. Y-Knot is out, I have a space. Kingfisher Chris and James REEL MAGIC Mick and Dave Saturday Kodiak - Saturday, Adam + Crew TBC

You going again this year or waiting until 2027?

Nice report - thanks for writing it up. Really must get Kodiak over for a trip - she has never been before, and it's been years since Ive been....

Its worth paying to use Ospray Quay IMO. It shaves a good 30 mins of steaming off the trip out and is a cracking slip, it's not crazy expensive, loads of parking and space and a good pub / cafe (the Ship that Rocks) in the marina at the end of the day. It's about 30 mins to the Shambles from Portland Harbour and very fishable in a small trailer boat. Adam
