Went down the marina to clean the boat today, but ended up sneaking out for a few hours, since Deano and Stewey were already out. The sea was perfect.. Stewey invited me to tag along..cheers mate.



Ended up with 16 cod, 2 ling and 1 mackerel, the ling and the mackerel went back along with quite a few smaller cod.



Biggest fish was 8 1/2 lb with plenty 6,7lb, and plenty taken on shads.
Stewey lost a good one off not far from the boat, i knew by the scream ...sorry for laughing mate but it sounded really comical...



All in all a great day out, still no doubler ......Deano nicked them....

Cracking catch report mate you probs were only fishing for 3 hours and by yourself it was a mint day to be out I must admit I sniggered when stu lost his fish but that was only so he didn't beat me bet your arms are killing pulling 2 at a time up

Good that you got a sneaky trip in, it was lovely wind wise until about 1pm at the marina today but that rain never let up...nice catch for a unexpected day out...i took the weekend off to service the boat, paint and clean.

[easyfish1]

clean the boat........ I use that line too, well done on getting out and hard luck on mising the doubler only to see it caught on rosie-mae, i spent the day on the coutch...[slight hangover] but did venture out just to look at the sea state off hartlepool



heh heh.... you can just see m/bro in the distance....

[King Ling]

Sounds like you had a good few hours chris,i never bothered due to the non stop rain,I wish i did now looking at that lovely flat sea,and that knife on top of the fish m8,Thay won't fillet them selves..lol.

I only had my hoodie on, the rain was only light until we came back in, then it got heavy, still soaked though .

My arms were aching mate, the joints are'nt as young as they used to be, Rough day for the pirks though Deano, i lost about 12 i reckon, before going onto shads

Aye Rob is that Redcar on the right .

Did you take Stingray out Richie or are you cleaning and painting on the pontoon.

She is getting a engine bay clean down and new coupling fitted then mid wek or weekend she will be lifted for a cutless bearing, new anodes and a paint.

[The Jester]

Looks like a busy week ahead, but it will be worth it

[boatangler33]

If she didn't get her clean yesterday, there'll be a bit more to do now, lol. Superb result Chris, a lovely stamp of fish there, wish i'd gone out now.

Nice one mate, I'm hoping to get out again tomorrow as the forecast looks good, I have the task of finding someone to go with me first, not sure if deanos better half would let him out twice in one week haha

[GARYGERNARD]

well done mate hope you get your dbler soon

[northeast1]

Got the bearing from Storra marina, it was only £4 more than the cheapest i could find on the net with the p&p so it was fine, mind never done it before and its been in 10 years so expecting a job getting it out, read all the info about how to do it etc.

I will be out of action at least 6 more days maybe longer depending on when the new flexible coupling comes to aid in a smoother running of the boat, then its time to hit the fishing hard 3 times a week if the weather lets me....and thats a big IF

Sorry jacked your thread.....nice catch
