    NFSA Boat comp

    Hard day today after a great mornings fishing.

    Managed 7 ling,1 codling and 100 mackerel.

    All ling taken on flappers and the codling on a leadhead.

    1st spot was a ling of 28lb 13oz caught by me (it was 32lb 7oz when caught)
    jfk

    2nd spot was a ling of 18lb 2oz
    jfk


    3rd spot was a ling of 16lb
    Diamond

    Canny day out and a few quid to take home and a nice rod for myself.

    Just a shame a few of the bigger fish never turned up as most seem to be 4lb-6lb ling.

    Should have mentioned it sooner but a BIG THANK YOU to Alan Skinner (Skipper of the JFK) for once again taking a gamble and finding the fish on what was a very hard day's fishing for all.

            Well done Richie,

            Great fish.

            Wonder where you learned how to sort out the larger ling?

            Cheers

                    I cheers lads was a right good fight and yes it made me smile for most of the day.

                    It was nice to catch something abit bigger as this year i have never caught so many ling around the 3-6lb mark.I just hope that a small hook prick in the swim bladder will not kill them and they can make it to a double.

                    It was a P.Best for me ling wise and beat my old P.B of 28lb by just over 4lb.
                    The money wont come in wrong and the boat rod seems a corker so i might even smile when i get to use it.

                        Yer it was abit of a panic for a few mins Norman.

                        I got about 15-20 turns on the fish before it decided it never wanted to go anymore and dived for the bottom, it stripped line from the reel with ease before i put the drag on full to pull it away from the wreck.

                        Half way up with the drag on full it strated going off it and stripped line off the reel every dive. I started reeling in, the handle was turning but not the spool, so it was a pump and wind action for the last 40-50ft.

                        It's a new penn 325 boat reel and i have landed a Tope over 40lb on the same set up, 10-12lb class rod and that reel.I just think it must have been the tide pull in the fishes favour.

                        Anyway it made for a good fight and the video one of the lads took of the fight and the landing makes for funny watching.
