What a completely churlish post! What on earth motivates you to type this rubbish? The man has written a post of a great day of fishing and you post the above. Well I can count too and TJ says they caught 24 fish for over 185lbs of fish, so what is your point exactly?
what have a missed hear lads, cheers kayos, me old m8 barney can count just fine, and forever putting lads on the fish, has the other lad even been on a boat....
don`t tell me, he`s a pro....
kayo`s m8, you and your good lady should give barney a ring, am sure your regular skipper would`nt mind m8.

I did not want to be malicious or, how you call it, "churlish.
What will always annoy me in in catch reports is exaggeration and inaccuracy.
I read your reports and they are nice, Kayos
Another day the skipper and a customer argue, because one said he had 50 fish and the other swears it was 27.
What is the point of posting catch reports who are rather ferrytales.
You sometimes see photos of average cod or ling and then you see some ridiculous weight tag put on them.
This bragging is annoying, unnecessary and actually childish. I love reading catch reports and I post them myself...
I might have been wrong on this occasion and apologise

I think it would be wise of me to explain a few things:
When the lads/lasses start catching fish I normaly weigh the first 2 or 3 just so everyone on board has a good idea what is being caught, including me, if a fish looks anywhere near the 10lb mark I will also weigh that. The only other time I would weigh a fish is if someone asked me to, maybe to sort a sweep out. Of course no weight will be accurate as we are going up and, yes you guest it, down lol.
So as you can see I try to get a fair picture of what is being caught but it's difficult sometimes with a packed boat, it's much easeyer to sit and pick at a few reports lol sorry only playing.
Now I'm not!
Just a little pick at your reply post:
I did say OVER 185lb this could have been 186lb or 286lb? It also could have been fillet.
Many thanks

Cheers and apologies again
What I would really love is that if all the professional Charterboats of the North East would post for every trip they make an accurate catch report, even on bad days.
I am following those reports on CBUK, skippers homepages, NESA etc and I find them highly selective. I and my mates have been on some of the top charter boats 2012 and we had a few tremendous days but also were part of at least 3 total boat blanks. Rest assured that catch reports only came up of the good days.
I do understand the skippers who project a rosy picture, in the end its business, but is NESA not rather a forum of the anglers and not an advertising tool for the skippers ??

Yes m8 point taken but if I wrote a report for every day people would get sick of me. You probably are right about selective reporting but who wants to hear about not catching fish lol maybe we could write something like we had a poor day or average day and do a good report for good days? I'm only speaking for myself but I would find it hard to report every catch. This catch report was finished at 11.15pm ish after a long day (1 of 5) at sea and another one due the next day. For advertising I think my time would be better spent else ware, but I'm not on hear to advertise I'm on hear because people like fishing just like me.
A good friend of mine ( now passed away) once said to me, you would make a good charter skipper because you enjoy your fishing and I would love to prove him right! I'm still trying.
Anyway had a sh** day fishing today, only kidding, it was on the mackerel first for bait then a wreck, nothing on it so headed fog the ground, got about 3 or 4 ling (6lb ish) and about 5 cod ( biggest 9lb smallest 5lb ) then it just went dead, no drift. We started looking all over the place for more but we only got another 2 small ling until about 2 pm then we found some cod. Due to only having a few fish and only 6 lads on board I had a go myself. I got 4 cod biggest 9.5lb other 3 around the alb mark, all given away, I recon all had a minimum of 3 cod and 3 of the 6 will have had 5 or 6 so not too bad in the end and I was a half hour or so later than normal getting back in.

Some people on here just cant stand to read about others catching fish Barney , I had the day of my life earlier in the season and when I reported it on here I was accused of telling lies, not only about the fishing but the prick even said he watched me leave the marina after 9 am when I had been fishing for 3 hours by then, Im as guilty as anyone for not reporting poor days, but like you say, who wants to read about them?
Anyone who fishes knows there are days when it all happens and days when we shouldn't have bothered, the thing is the same day can have the opposite results for two different anglers , it's reading that someone hit them big time that spurs us on for the next trip.
I've never said how many cod I caught that day , without a word of a lie or even exaggeration it was in excess of 50 , all on a single hook rig , alll on one rod, all on my own .
The prick who labelled me a liar spoiled that day for me somewhat, it put me off reporting catches on here , I hope nothing puts you off , you work hard for your living , you need all the help you can get in your line of work, good luck with it .

Them Scottish trawlers were not helping things,going up and down all day,we passed you coming back in ,hard day,just no drift ,fish still coming in but not in great numbers,all the lads had fish thats the main thing and the cod are a good stamp of fish and fighting fit

Mate surely this forum is mostly for anglers to post threads about their charter day out! You say you have been out a lot in 2012, yet you have only posted one thread, so I don't think you are in the best position to "school" others (anglers or skippers) on here, how they should and shouldn't post.
Maybe you should concentrate on writing about your experiences on "some of the top charter boats in 2012." After all I guess it's what most people on here want to read about.

Yes dead right, surely they should be in deeper water. Most of our local trawler lads tend to give us a bit of breathing space!
Yes it was a bit slow for about 3 hours but it did switch back on, thank god and like you say everyone got fish so, job done.
