Four of us fished today on my ex swiftcat and it was one of the best days I can remember. The new owner Dave Bruce and his friends Andrew Kitching, Neil Arnaud and myself opted for an early start - and we weren't disappointed. We normally only fish wrecks but had heard there were fish on the 9 mile ground so Davey thought he would have an easy day drifting the rough ground. :huh:

 

The fish were there in abundance, but the average stamp was small. Cod up to 5lb were everywhere. The sport was fantastic though with a fish a drop, but they all went back. A move was called for.

 

Back to what we do best then - wreck drift fishing for cod :rolleyes:

 

All I can say is the session that followed was one of the best I can remember.

 

The blues brothers. Neil on the left with Andrew on the right. This fish was Andrews 2nd 16lber.

Neil with a cod of 14.5lb. Dave with one of 18lb and Andrew with his second 16lb fish - all caught on the same drop.

The stamp of fish was superb, and many double figure cod were landed, with only a few ling.

 

Fantastic sport from the port of Hartlepool.

What a cracking day out!

 

Some lovely fish there and a nice day by the look of the sea.

 

I'm off out tomorrow on a sharking trip, after my luck last time I'll probably just be on the whiting :D . Oh well, hoping for garfish to add a new species and also hoping to beat my pb cod.........a whole 1 1/2lb :rolleyes:

 

Never mind, Barry's going to teach me how to catch conger at the weekend.....get some practice in for the North Sea :P

Eating wild caught fish is good for my health, reduces food miles and keeps me fit trying to catch them........it's my choice to do it, not yours to stop me!

Yup, some good fishing there, thanks for the foto's, just think if enough of them are allowed to remain for a few years. What you gonna do when you get a bit fed up with pulling fillets up.

 

Fingers crossed Worms that we find a few, don't know what the weather is going to do for the weekend yet and fingers for that as well. who's doing the foto's?

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..

Well Davey wasn't on a roll when I took the £100 wager off him though was he. I thought his bottom lip was going to hit the helm on the way :D

 

Fishing four people is one not enough Foo, get yourself back to blighty my lad and make up the number.

 

Best fishes,

Al
