    Fishing Sunday to Tuesday

    Sunday was rubbish with small bream and a couple of small hounds. Southerly wind made it very rolly poly. Wind got up to 5 so headed for home sharpish as was rising to a 6. Monday & Tuesday were great apart from a couple of rescue missions. 3 of us fishing for bass casting with lures . 37 on...

    Admiralty chart?

    All part of RYA navigation courses as it helps to plot when you can go over something like a bank with the draught of your boat e.g getting into some harbour entrances. Firm believer in certified basic skills required before you jump on boat. On Monday sorted someone out who had a deeper...

    Norway Place

    We had a go for plaice one morning at a mark given to us. . We only had one small one using squid. Problem was little codling grabbing both baits. Our best has been 6lb but rest have been much less than that. Also told cooked prawns are a good bait. Best of luck with the big one ! We had some...

    Norway Place

    Recommend a Norway trip to those not been. Off to our annual 8 day trip to Torsvag Havfiske on Vannoy Island eo July. We take travel rods. 2 cases of which one is a "grip" that fits round a polystyrene box in which we take food out & bring filleted fish back in.

    A decent day out

    Well done - nice Winstons. Out today in rather lumpy seas so had to seek shelter in lee of Isle of Wight. Smoothies , strap congers, Gurnards, Bream and Macks. Rather slow fishing but winkled a day's fishing out of some bad weather. Sea state by 7pm was flat I am told ! Great yesterday & great...

    This one pulled a bit.

    Hi Ian Interesting report & well done. Separate subject - what is the Crab & Lobster pub like now for food ? I have had one or two unflattering reports. Being a caulkhead, I do like to keep tabs on things and sometimes pop over to Bembridge.

    Fishing with someone who knows nothing about boat safety..??

    I am commercially endorsed Advanced Power Boat i.e 20 miles from safe haven day & night. Help a mate with his charter boats but mainly use mine. I take regular crews. Have to log my hours for my renewal. Always give safety brief on charter & own boat nominating someone to take over / help (...

    Fishing with someone who knows nothing about boat safety..??

    Common sense is part (on the assumption that all have common sense) but knowledge of basic engine checks, navigation, boatmanship, COLREGS etc are just as important. Rescued / aided to safety 3 potentially serious motor boats last year. All due to lack of understanding of tides, depths and...

    Fishing with someone who knows nothing about boat safety..??

    Good for you - you probably saved some lives and / or RNLI time. Firm believer in mandatory course like commercial endorsement requirements e.g RYA Power Boat Advanced or at least 2 depending on what you are doing.

    COD IOW

    A few small ones caught in Chichester Harbour on the flood - but not mine! Must be a few around. We normally get a run of codling & then it goes dead with the odd big lump in Nab area.
