great white

great fish that. I have never caught one. a mate of mine caught one of those on Chesil on my very first trip there as a teenager. [long time ago now] I remember it scared him to death in the dark, when his torch shone on all of its teeth. LOL

Depends what you are trying to do with your boat. if its just getting back to the marks and wrecks, it doesn't need all the bells and whistles. if you are chasing fish in deep water you may need more than basic kit.

150 metres out, I would need the boat for that

Happy New Year and a great 2021 everyone. Tight lines and calm seas to you all. Charlie and Wendy

If we can get through the Pandemic, we would want to go

love the one where he dives in to grab the rod

Plenty of whiting on the 50/50 banks Stuie. Tight lines

Nice one well done When you have fitted all the bits can you send me a photo to show the guys at work. as you know we have a few of those boats. a couple of the staff fish and may be interested on how to modify a Club RIB. LOL

Agree 100% Jim

To be honest mate , I probable have more rods than she does bags, LOL

Happy Birthday Terry Have a great day buddy.

Funny When asked if she wanted tackle for Christmas, she fairly politely declined.😂 Apparently I have more than enough for both of us.

Thanks guys, Wendy will be pleased.

I come from Weston Super Mare on the Bristol Channel In the muddy waters up there congers were always a rare catch A friend landed a 50 lb fish that broke the channel record and made all of the papers , when 100lb fish were getting common in the Plymouth area

Great reports Thanks Andy hard luck on whatever you lost neal

You and me both Greg. I have had three long evening zoom meetings about this subject this week. we have just published something to Members of the Yacht Club. Wendy and I just returned from a nice walk and I have an email from the BMF with advice from DEFRA that seems to be the opposite of what we were acting on. Confusing or what. Charlie

What are MDL Cobbs Quay doing at the moment?

At work we have to follow RYA interpretations of the Gov guidance. As I type they have told us that recreational boats can only be used from public places. Apparently Clubs, Boatyards and Marinas are not public spaces I have had to send out notices stopping Members using their boats but it may well change again unless it does, much to our disappointment when there are toothy critters about, Alfresco will have to drop out. The Marina Manager cannot tell his berth holders to stay put and then bugger off fishing.

Thanks for the reports guys Glad you had a good day

Picked up some frozen bait on my way past wessex on my way home yesterday. just in case

With all of the changes I need to be at work tomorrow. Tight lines all that can get out keep the reports coming, we would all like to know what is still feeding out there after the recent rough weather. Charlie

Has the upcoming lock down killed this one off?

May take you up on that Colin At the bottom of my garden I have a very big stump of an ash tree where it was felled two years ago just above where it divided into two above the ground. I have fancied using a chainsaw to carve it into a bench type seat.

I have made a few leads in the past, in various colours but I have never noticed a difference in catch rate to be honest. using the coating on lures, seemed to be a better use for the powder
