Well done spanner !!! that is some achievement and a fantastic report, good for you

Sorry about the wait http://www.anglersnet.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=67869

The start to the organised Brixham trip went well with a total of nine of us turning up and being on the water for 6:30ish. We all paddled over to the Mariners pontoons and moored up using freelining and float methods with live prawn for bait. Marks other half pulled in the first Bass of the day which started off the catches. Dave was using sandeel which bagged him the only mackerel that were caught that day. A couple of others tried worm but I believe to no avail. With daylight starting to make an apprence it turned out to be a warm day with the sun coming out at times and I finally broke my summers run of bad luck with my first Bass of the year, a little late I know but needless to say I finally got one. Next year the big one (I hope) At about 9:45am we all went back to the car park for a bite to eat a chat and to look over each others Yaks and see the different set up that we all have which was very useful to the guys that are just starting in our sport. We then went back to the same spot but it seemed to go quite which by that time we were all starting to suffer numb bums and feeling a little tired. I must say a big thanks for the guys who had travelled a fair few miles (you know who you are) and you are all most welcome to come on down at anytime, maybe next time we can come to you. I think I can say for all of us that it was a good fishing session and everyone enjoyed themselves. Thanks to Rob for the pictures. Thanks Chris for that, some bits that stand out in my mind with pics It was such a nice feeling driving into the car park and seeing so many enthusiastic Kayak fishermen and women all so eager to get started. It was a pleasure to meet you all and I will look forward to fishing with you in the near future. Sorry to say but the fishing was poor that day, far too many blanks for my liking including myself, but like a good friend once said to me if it was about catching it would be called catching not angling. please correct me if I am wrong but this is how I remembered the fish caught Anita small Bass ( showing the Boys the way to go ) well done, Mark you need to ask Anita for a few tips mate Dave A three mackeral, one small wrasse well done Dave ( by the way don't keep running your hobbie into the ground I thought it was the dogs do-dars ) Chris W one Bass and a mac ( well done mate now you have cracked it more will follow ) Johnsok Two Bass ( nice one john ,am I right in saying this was your first on the yak ? and if I remember one was a reasonable size Dartman Wrasse, Bass and mac ( Three species Nice one, I believe this was only your second or third trip, good stuff Dartman ) Chinny mmm where do I start, well I joined chinny in the afternoon as people started to go home, this was a bad move !!!!

HI Simon and thanks, it was a job and a half taking that photo !!! could not see the screen, but worth it prawns are an excellent bait and this time of year they are at their best, I have collected some massive ones this year, if anyone wants to give them a go hurry because October they normally vanish until next July, well that's around here anyway very good thornback ray bait by the way

mmmm point taken marv i think i will edit a few of my replies, thanks for that it would be good if we had a members area on this forum

Thanks GB, you done any Bassing this year ?

As most of you know most weeks I only get Tuesdays off, so was over the moon this morning with a beautiful sunrise and my biggest Bass this season, It don't get much better than this 4.5 to 5 lb Bass Returned

Bill is fine he is still yak fishing, and he might pop over and say hello on our Sunday trip

yes mate thats the one

Nice one Bordman & Headshine glad to hear you can make it lookforward to meeting you I am sure we will spend far too much time yak yaping

HI Trev the bait bucket is a 901T Flote-Rite Trolling Bait Bucket, 8.6 litre capacity. had a quick look but you need to surf the web a little this one is £17 + p&p i paid £15 from my local tackle dealer http://www.sovereignsuperbaits.co.uk/Other...ansporting.html Happy hunting

I try and keep it as simple as possible, I have a masterline over the shoulder tackle bag which has a detachable waterproof section that I keep my basic tackle box in, the strap is fed through the buckled strap at the rear of the seat on my p15

Sorry to hear you cant make it Musket, next time What a shame i will pm my mobile number so if you are about again you can text or call

Don't panic Chris i have reserved you the fighting seat, this Sunday you will crack it I am up to about 30 ish

To wet your appetite for Sunday I gave Brixham Harbour a go this morning from dawn until 11am, caught 4 Bass, not big but this little fella put up a grand fight, he had a rusty 1-0 in his lip so removed both hooks and off he went, all the fish were returned

HI Dartman the pleasure was mine, I am glad you joined the gang sounds like you are doing very well with your new yak keep up the good work I get Tuesdays off most weeks so could meet you next tue at Blackpool sands for a paddle if not maybe a Sunday let me know BTW anyone getting confused about Blackpool sands its the name of one of our local beaches, not the Blackpool sands Regards YB

Don't worry Dave there will be enough for you mate

species you can find in the harbour and around the area, so you can sort out bait you need......Bass, mac, gar, wrasse, mullet, Pollock, dabs, gurnard, plaice, lsd's huss, pout, cole fish, conger. Not all of the species can be caught in the harbour but most can. Like Chris said I will collect as many prawns as I can this week so there will be some available on the day but please feel free to use whatever bait you want and fish in what ever way you like. Car Park Charges http://www.torbay.gov.uk/print/car-park-charges.pdf please note the best way to do this is get there before 7 am and it will only cost £1 up to 10 am then we normaly paddle back for a top up please see the launch slipway as modeld by our very own (from left to right) chinny1 & chinny 2 good on ya lads

HI Headshine and welcome nice to see another local to join our crew mmmmm live sandeel + hopes nose area has got to produce bass A good place to launch for that area is meadfoot, if you get there early you will get free parking. Give it a go under killmory flats and along right through to hopes nose You might not pick this up before you go but anyway good luck You can see Killmory flats in the far background

Hey Dartman glad you made it really good to meet you the other day, hope you finished your pint lol So you went for the p13, nice yak, what colour is it ? hope to meet up again soon, we are all a good bunch of yak mad fishermen here don't be afraid to ask for advice
