better than our day headed out mid afternoon to the banks and had a few dogfish, pout and a whiting hoping the fishing would pick up. about half an hour later was winding in something like a pout and something took a fancy too it and grabbed it and headed for the bottom leaving me with a screaming reel and no chance of stopping it. about 2 minutes the line parted gutted proberly a conger went very quite for the rest of the day intil just after dark when dad wound in a conger for it to let go on the surface and all was left was a well mangled pout. a lovely day to be out but shame about the fishing sam

hi tom were thinking of changing our new boat to an offshore 30 do you get many offshores or are they two big. sam

at least your travelling back in style then sam

i wear fingerless gloves in the winter its surprising how well they work and does not make any difference when tying nots or reeling in. sam

welcome tom enjoy the website. sam

i bet they would jack but after watching it i think i will stick to the navy. sam

i have seen that a couple of times now and they are bonkers, last week one of the boats sank and only one guy was saved. sam

kam just eat it raw i ate a fish eye for a fiver once and it tasted surprisingly nice it took me ages to get that fiver out of dad. sam

well done james sam

looks like i got all that to look forward to when i join the navy i can wait to do the sinking ship exercise it looks fun [ proberly not when your actually sinking] sam

tomorrows competiton is cancelled due to poor weather conditions

in New Zealand dogfish are called lemon fish and they taste great along with gurnard, because they dont get many cod over there they use gurnard and dogfish alot i think it tastes lovely it is probably better to take home a few dogfish than a cod if caught too let the number of cod in the sea increase again. on the side of skinning, when out fishing with matt on bliss 2 dean caught a double figure bullhuss and dad made skinning it look very easy im starting to sound more and more like dad sam ps rich i would rather put back a big fish than have it killed just to be weighed i even put back a ray in burnham that could have one me some money, i must be mad.

it is possible if you have a big enough bait tank to put it in and keep saltwater running through it, it will be fine. in our boat there is hold in the floor which dad has had loads of congers in and you can manage to keep them alive if you fill it with water every now and again. since i have been competing in the november comp i have seen dad wrestle with a few lively conger and its never been a problem they have always swam away from baiter without a problem. but please dont kill it unless your going to use it one of my friends kills all his conger just to show his mum and they go in the bin ( lets just say he aint much of a friend anymore) sam

rich neil wanted to put it back but because it was so rough they couldnt get an accurate reading on the scales and with a fish that size everyone wants to know the exact weight sam

humphrey was out that day and all he had was doggies and a bass but his bass was 12lb 4oz sam

this is one thing i can beat james in sam

very funny what else do you expect me to do in spanish its all foreign to me sam

i play that game at school all the time i got 2000 sam
