Big pollock, tope and smoothhounds, that's about it but great for dorado, roosterfish, tuna and sailfish. Unfortunately there's not many of them in the Solent until global warming moves in. :clap2:

 

Don't worry about the solent, get right out in the channel, try for an 80 plus conger, that'll

do it justice. :fishing1:

:clap2: 80lb, no problem, 100lb better. :clap2:

 

$559!!!!!!!!!!!!

:clap2: At $1.90 to the £ it's a bargain. :clap2: +

Night night Norm i suppose you will kick the misses out and sleep with it now.

 

Still very green barry, ps got one for me to try out this season?

 

:bye2::bye2::bye2:

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..

:clap2: I received an Accurate Boss 870 Magnum 2 speed lever drag to review today. What a cracking reel, 6:1 retrieve, 7 bearings, twin speed, twin disc braking, casting brake, all aircraft grade alloy construction and not a lot bigger than a 6500, probaly SL20SH size. What a reel for heavy shore fishing or uptiding for tope etc. I feel a trip to Costa Rica or Ascension Island might be necessary to give it a real workout, or maybe Portugal or Madeira if my good lady moans too much, we shall see. :clap2:

 

 

post it up to me fully spooled with braid and i'll give it a good pounding in kenya in a few weeks. ;)

 

we intend to do jigging for the GT's and amberjacks out there B)

 

mind you, have you got a rod to go with it??

 

got a new reel??

 

got to get a new rod to match it, as you do..... :lol:

Unbearable, isn't it? The suffering of strangers, the agony of friends. There is a secret song at the center of the world, and its sound is like razors through flesh.

The obvious most important question with regards too this reel is! ................. has it got to be returned after the review? :headhurt:

 

If not, it could be given to Elton as a raffle prize to finance AN.

Lucky you,I would recommend Madeira for a try out and Funchal for the good lady to go shopping in. Good luck with the reel. :)

:clap2: The answer to this important question is NO! I now have a 270, 2 Speed 12 and now the 870 2 speed, gosh I must have been good in a past life. Kenya! Who are you going with, anyone I should know. Didn't have a good time there in 1882, got ripped off. :clap2::unsure:

:clap2: Too good to give away, anyway, not allowed to as shops complain if I give stuff away. "How can we sell stuff if it's given away" they say. It's not totally free as I have to pay customs, VAT and a handling charge. Anyway, would you part with some of your best tackle? :clap2:

:clap2: I've been to Madeira for the last two years with Ron Cowling on Our Mary, unfortunately he passed away last year and I don't know what's happening. One person tells me the business will continue under his crewman with a qualified skipper and then I see adverts for the sale of the business in SA. A shame really as I was looking at trying for the big, out of season skate and smoothounds in March. :schmoll:
