August Cod Fishing

August 3rd, 2010 by Mick

2nd August 2010-020810-025Almost every trip produces one of those characters that you know your not going to forget in a hurry.  This is what happened to us when we were first joined on the boat by Martin Bignell.  Today he was making a return visit with a few of his friends and before the day started it was a given that it was going to be a laugh a minute.  Anyway the crew today were Martin , his boss Brian – Stuart and Mike -   Nigel, Neil, Darrell and taking the 8th place on the boat was Sean.

Catch Report – 7th July 2010

July 7th, 2010 by Mick

7th July 2010-070710-007As usual the crew phoned in last night to check that the weather was good to go to sea but after waking up and looking out of the window it was clear that the wind was blowing a lot stronger than had been forecast and the sea was white capping as far as the eye could see.  On went the computer to check the marine forecast again.  The wind was easing down and so we were still fine to go but we knew it was going to a bit of bumpy ride out to our first fishing mark with the sea state lessening as the day went on.

Catch Report -18th June 2010

June 18th, 2010 by Mick

18th June 2010-180610-020After a few days off due to the sea state we were back out on the water today.  We still have a good tide for catching Bream so this was our target species for the day.  The crew all arrived in good time so we enjoyed a quick cuppa before heading out.  It was the perfect opportunity for known faces to meet new ones and get all their gear organised on board.  The crew today were a lovely mix with lads and lasses, experienced anglers and those giving it a go for the first time.
