Hello all
Fisrtly thanks for the kind words, John, Paul and Norrie
Pity you couldn't make it Elton.
I have had the new boat since July and things have been going great guns. Lots of fish caught so far and some fantastic new crews too. Met up with Jabee, Spasor and Norrie when they were down in August and have been flat out ever since.
Trip tonight is just three of us going for a Solent Cod or two, there are a good few showing at the moment and hopefully we can get into some. We had a beauty of 19lb odd the other day. Whether we do the full 24hrs remains to be seen but we are all up for it and have enough bait, food etc to feed what's left in the sea. Main focus will be on the cod but there are still some awesome bass kicking around too.
Just for anyone who maybe concerned, I'm all qualified and have been for many years, Tea / Coffee and Soup is available F.O.C and the boat has six berths including two double cabins. Full cooking facilites and after the refit this winter there'll even be another head downstairs with Shower etc.
If any of you are interetsed in a trip I have a schedule on my deepsea pages along with a news page. The new Beyond the Blue website is under construction at the moment. I think a few of the posters on here can also vouch for me despite my tender years (love that comment) I seem to remember 3 double figure bass in a couple of trips to 13lb for Norma, Dave and Paul (Grandad).
Regards
