Merry Christmas to everyone, stay safe and catch plenty of big fishes

I wouldn't use the trimmer line if I was you. Although it's mono, but they are made of difference materials, they break alot easier. Just thhink how easy it is for the line to break by hitting the guard of the trimmer.....
 
I would agree with Sam, I tend to fish slightly lighter, I just don't like some skippers insist on 150lb mono for conger and 100lb for ling, for pete's sake, average ling size down Weymouth is around 20lb.....
 
One advantage of using 200lb mono is that you don't have to change the trace everytime you caught a fish, sometime if I'm really lazy or in a comp for number of conger caught, I would just bait up using the same trace and chuck it down.

We were fishing on Valkyrie yesterday, and one of the regular on there always has clementines or satsuma or something similar. i said you must love citrus fruits, he said, "not really, but the peel is great for cleansing your hands and getting rid of fishy or bait smells."
I thought that's clever.

But being a closed knit community Tom can trust us with a little secret ........

Belated Happy Birthday wishes to you.

Not been fishing for over 4 months, having been cancelled 6 weeks on the trot.
6 of us booked Glen for a bank trip, but the night before the forecast was for 2-8 miles wind, one of the guy suggested why don't we go for a wreck trip instead? So a quick phone call to glen at 9:30pm and the trip was changed to wrecking, 
Started off from Northney at 7:00am, we steamed 2 and half hours to our first wreck, a few fish, not a bad start, moved to second wreck and a few more, not hectic but keeping everyone interested plus 2 of the guys were wrecking virgins, so I lost fair amount of time helping them retied lost rigs etc. 
I caught 9 pollocks, plus a bonus cod about 9-10 lbs, Glen said that's the earliest he's ever caught a cod on the wrecks. 
Most fish were in the 6-10lbs mark, a couple hitting about mid teens. By about 2 pm, we said we had enough (about 40) pollocks and lots of jumbo pouts between the 6 of us, so we decided to go congering on a wreck on the way home instead, only the one conger caught and it was only about 20 lbs. All in all a great day.
