    South West Brixham, The Report!!

    Glad you only told me that now, it was spooky enough as it was without things like that in the back of my mind!! …..not that I believe in ghosts but the mind does play it’s tricks

    South West Brixham, The Report!!

    To be fair, the whole place was surprisingly clean, I didn’t really spot any other litter about. One of the pools on the top did look decidedly yellow though! ?

    South West Brixham, The Report!!

    I would’ve checked it out earier given the chance but it just never happened that way… what with kids, wife etc, I was lucky I got to go at all really!! I’m fairly sure it was a bigger eel, it just wouldn’t budge after a while

    South West Brixham, The Report!!

    Nothing like home at all… I kinda felt safe but didn’t at the same time if that makes sense. I’m sure in daylight it would’ve been fine but not knowing where you are or where you’re going makes it a whole different ball game!! Im glad I didn’t blank for sure but congers are such snotty beasts

    South West Brixham, The Report!!

    That’s what I was expecting when I looked over but it was 100% not a seal, I could see a dorsal fin and pectoral fins, it looked more shark shaped than anything but of course, they don’t blow air out like that!! It could have even been a young whale or huge porpoise but I suspect a dolphin as...

    South West Brixham, The Report!!

    Hi all. Firstly thank you so much to all that offered advice etc in my last thread about Torbay and the surrounding areas. You’re all awesome! So, I didn’t manage to get out quite as early as I’d hoped but got to Berry Head for around 10pm ish. I drove around the tiny lanes in the dark for a...

    South West Emergency Advice please!… Torbay

    Superb! Thank you so much. I think I’m leaning towards Berry Head or Sharkham point. Not too fussed about hounds as they’re my staple target in Kent, I want to catch something different from home ideally. Probably going to be fishing from about 9-10pm until the small hours so should make it to...

    South West Pulling my finger out for a PB

    I don’t reverse it, I just guess where I am! Sometimes takes a couple of attempts but usually get there in the end.

    South West Emergency Advice please!… Torbay

    Thanks so much! Euro angling was already on the radar. I’ll look into Meadfoot. ????

    South Coast Decent bag of fish at last

    Awesome! Well in

    South West Pulling my finger out for a PB

    Nice shark wrangling! Lovely fish. I usually fish on my own and tried a remote switch for my pics but never really got on with it, as you said it’s all a bit awkward. I use a 10sec timer now and it’s much easier, maybe worth considering? Well done again bud.

    South West Emergency Advice please!… Torbay

    Hi all! I’m away on hols at Paignton with the family. I hadn’t expected to get any fishing in at all so I’m completely unprepared but….. It looks like I might get a little window tomorrow night (Tuesday) into early Wednesday morning. Here’s what I’m dealing with; • I only have a 12’ telescopic...

    South East Back on the hounds

    You’re more than welcome bud. Was a good night, even if I could only find babies!! At least I got out two nights in a row, best was 7lbs 5oz.

    South East Back fishing with bait!

    Keep at it mate, your rewards are coming, promise!!

    South East Shark wrangling again ?

    Often… the problem is timing the right conditions and tides etc with the travel. Tope are certainly on the “to do” list though for sure!!

    South East Shark wrangling again ?

    Fair chance of an undulate down that way, they can put up a fair fight.
  17. Stormtrooper

    South East Shark wrangling again ?

    Sure, we’ll get you amongst them!
  18. Stormtrooper

    South East Shark wrangling again ?

    They can be for sure but not all of them scream off. Some give very tentative bites. I do love the sound of a screaming reel when they do though!!

    South East Shark wrangling again ?

    I love ‘em, such hard fighters and explosive bites.

    South East Shark wrangling again ?

    Lol, yeah I guess. It just sounds odd. Maybe “over there” would be better! ???
