JASON, GERRY'S OF MORECAMBE HAVE A WHAT LOOKS LIKE A GREAT DEAL ON THE PENN WAVEBLASTER 6-12lb LONG TIP/SHORT BUTT AT THE MOMENT.WAS LOOKING AT IT MYSELF.
Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caught
Richy, how about getting in the lock on the big tides and do some mussel picking, couldn't beleive how big some of them were when we seen them last year

met up with Kevin and his new Ocqueteau 645 ... lol raring to get out and test but not today unfortunately (nice to meet up Kevin)
norm
Nice to meet you too Norman.
I “de-winterised” the engine; refitting the impeller was a bit of a bugger but it’s all back together now and with no spare bits left over. She fired up first time and we had a run round the marina. They’re cracking boats and unexpectedly, much easier to manoeuvre than the little Seahog I had with an outboard which was a relief.

Or wait until April when the lock will be emptied for it’s annual maintenance, there’ll be a season’s supply of bait ready for the freezer.
Aye Kev very manoeverable, however all in forward motion lol backwards has no steering (as with an outboard/outdrive there is prop direction, not with shaft drive)
Only weeks away now from a run out ..... I`m sure .......
Keeping with the same thread (coz I think its a cracker) ....
been looking through Youtube just for the fun of it and came across this .....
Nice video but thought I ought to point it in the direction of "first mate Steve" in that there are some valuable clips on how to Gaff
one odd thing in the video don't ring quite true in that when asked how heavy do you think it is there are several "about 9 or 10lbds" comments ..... haha tell me the last time anyone on a boat caught a fish "about" 10 lbds the didn`t weigh it to find out ...... theres no "abouts" aboard slinky with a fish over 7lbs
Strange that Norman, i ahve been trawling over some catch reports on the site dating back to 2007 thats how bored and eager i am )
Some crackers both high and lows, just finished reading the one when your caught the chair around your prop etc, the crab pot cod, the big cod last drop of the day for the comp, the great day on your fav wreck, my jsut shy of 20lb cod, my 9 fish in 9 drifts, my dog dieing after a trip, the day i snagged a rope and all the trips from the boats of any interest
just got the gear I'm prepared to sell out...will take pics and post an advert tomorrow
what the FPO doesn't realise is that if I make enough dough I'm buying another shore rod as well as the new boat rod
Ooh a new vid!

Well with the sun out i decided to head down the boat, i spent about 1hr checking her over and cleaning some of the seagull poow off. Everything was ok, i had come armed with some mackerel so off i went, 1st drop nothing, 2nd drop a crab, 3rd drop a crab....by this time it was getting choppy, think the lock gates ahd opened but the wind was still light.
Baited up again and went to clean the cabin out, popped my head out and seen a bite...fish on a 3" blenny so down it went again. i then set about changing the filter and when i looked up i had a slack line, the heart pounded but then i realised i had just walk to the same sid eof the boat as all the tools and was a further 3 foot down on that side
Anyway headed back in..that long walk off the pontoon with the 1st fish of the season
On a serious note it was a cracking day and if i had of had all my gear on i would have been out today
