great white

Happy Birthday graham Hope that you are well and see these messages.

agree

Lovely looking reels I am pleased with the 30 2 speed that I have, even if the 15kg drag is a little light for that size reel

I have loaned the boat to Sam and Eileen on the19th so I hope that the Club Cod comp stays on the 25th. If it does I will be looking for crew

All good advice Thanks

Happy Birthday mate Have a great day

Brilliant write up of what sounds like a good day out. No mention of a pink pinny, sounds like mal was busy with his tackle.

Hardly a good experience for angler or the fish But what a dickhead

Keeping an eye on it. But it hardly looks like a 48 hr gap Looks like only Sat or nothing at the moment. Especially as Jayden is coming Probably why this comp used to be booked in the summer

Have a great birthday Chris

Great return for your efforts, Super sport Shame that getting the videos done at the hectic times gets missed, we have done the same on Holiday.

Well done Rob Sounds like a great trip, aws it just the one day? Great pictures too Charlie

Thanks Greg Do you think heavier tackle could have stopped it?

Ah the one that got away, LOL Bloody thing is getting away a lot must beef up the kit and give it a go, what do you think Rob?

good luck Fred hope you get a couple, you have certainly put some preparations in

Has the three month trip been shortened Fred? Typo or the presence on Nigel and his chums? good read mate Mr Chapman

I bet that was exciting Fred seeing all the fins approaching on the surface Untill you could see they were dolphins that is Any luck on the lure caught sharks yet?

Not sure there is Neil. You may have to settle for 3 out of 4 from your list in which case I would go for the Avet MX LH with brakes, its narrow spool makes line control easier. Or think out of the box and go for a tough large fixed spool I use Fin Nor Offshore and Cobot large spinning reels on Holiday, They have casting ability Line lay LH or RH handle positions and a drag that is far more powerful than any of my multipliers, If they can tame tropical fish there isn't much in the UK that could bother them.

The7000 I mentioned earlier does have a level wind but shore or boat I have never found it to be a problem as we are not tournement casting. I thought you were after a combination although I still use the 7000,s my preferred option are my Avet SX or MX LH lever drags a little limited but Avets fit the bill. mine arenot good casting reels but they do come with brakes for that purpose

Thanks Rob I must say I had the same thoughts as Ian when I got up this morning

Happy Birthday Paul have a great day

Happy Birthday have a great evening

The one I use most for both of those is one of my ABU 7000,s has brake blocks so can cast even big weights uptide very capable medium size downtider too. at anchor or drifting as an all rounder has a proved pedigree

Must agree Steve I have just called Ian and Neil to cancel. have to just look forward to next time.

Hi Neil Ian and Alan are joining me weather permitting. We would have room for another, but I am keeping an eye on the forecast to see if we can do what I intended to do. If you can let me have your number I will call you after I check the weather and talk to Ian this evening. Not sure if I fancy another Ray trip, but some fishing is better than no fishing.
