We've got a nice little trip coming up shortly on the boat (July1st-70hour) With 9 of us going this time i'm hoping for a cracking trip with lots of laughs along the way.

George rung me tonight and said the fishing was fantastic , lets hope the weather will hold out and produce some cracking fishing for us.

PS , Ivan Bell , would you like to make one with us? George will be contacting you shortly.

Lets hope it remains good as we are out on a 70 hr on the 14th August

Mr Motorola a report would be nice as we dont hear much from the chieftain these days

There should be a nice report headed your way if the fishing is on mate , pics and probably some vids too mate.

Hi mate, was talking to George the other day (just after they had come in from a 94 hour trip) he said the fishing had been very good. I think that the local boats have been doing ok as well on the inshore grounds. George said that they had quite a few fish (cod) in the twenty pound + mark and he says that they have had 2 or 3 cod well over 30lb this year. I did read in our local rag and sore a photo of one of Georges anglers the other week with a 34lb cod. of course there was the usual news black out on the local forums about this event but there you go. come to think of it in the past 6 years that I know of there have been (George and I worked it out) 8 cod caught from Whitby angling boats that where over 30lb. guess what boat they where all caught on? coincidence or a point that our old late mate use to try and always put over. hope you make it number 9 mate.
Regards
P s got an invite of George to a trip on chieftain when ever I want, as long as I bring me filleting knife, so who knows old mate you might not have seen the last of me yet.

Filleting and fishing are a speciality of yours John. I'm sure we'll see you onboard soon enough. I'm still practicing hard to catch you up on the filleting , maybe never beat you though.
Anything over 20 pound stamp would be more than appreciated by our gang (theres a couple of newbies coming) and it would be nice for them to pull their arms off with a biggie.

Nice to hear from you John and hope to see you soon.
Carl.

When you do John, drag me along as well. In particular if he will drop anchor and let a couple of pound of squid bounce down slowly with the tide into the wreck. can't make it till sept, bit busy till then.

Unfortunately I had a trip with Shawn and his son Oliver booked on Sat from Ryhl and I cannot get anybody else to take them so I will have to give it a miss this time.

If its as good as the 94 hr trip a couple of weeks ago you should do well, and your filling will be appreciated.

Good evening Carl.
May I suggest to get quicker than John over a sustained period perhaps an arm graft may be in order to bring the number up to 3 or possibly 4.
I also found his dexteritty with a knife admerable.
On the subject of better fish, It was my observation the few times I was aboard, they do seem to come to a perk fished without the accompanying decoration ie muppets and hockeyes above.
The latter was always the way to fill up with bulk and of cause nothing is hard and fast but that was just a trend I observed.
Any way , nice to hear from you, good luck with the trips, hope our old mate is still well.
If you get one with my name on It throw it back.
Once a gain good luck.
Charlie.

Will do Charlie , i'm sure there will be plenty coming up with your name on them.......i'll take a few if you don't mind though.

Hi Carl.
Have you seen anything of those sand eelers over the last couple of year, know one seems to mention them now days.
One would like to think they have packed up but I very much doubt it.
good luck with the fishing.
Regards
Charlie
