  • Black Betty II 06/06/19

    A little evening session with myself and Micky aboard. We set off for the Easterly wrecks off Amble and once clear of the Island were met with a horrible, uncomfortable and snotty sea.
    Once at the wrecks we tried four with a fast drift and only landed one small codling! The first mackerel of the season did turn up though.

    We then headed in to behind the island and the end of Bondicar and had a bit more success however the water was green.

    That might be my last ever trip on Black Betty as I have put down a deposit on a new boat and pick her up in August when I get home from graft and she is completed. She is an Aqua Fish 18 and is being fitted with a 150hp outboard.

    She will a pilothouse so a bit more comfort again with me kicking on in years and getting soft! I will likely move back to Royal Quays next season as well.
    Black Betty is now up for sale if anyone is interested, get in touch.

      Very smart Graham. 150 horse pushing 18ft of boat – that will be a flying machine.

            That's a tough looking machine you're buying into Graham. Good for you. Will miss your reports from my home base though. Having made the move north, I personally prefer it to RQ for a great many reasons, but it's good to experience new possibilities too. I'm no spring chicken either and am thinking about something bigger. But what ? Go down the second-hand route with a Mitchell or Aqua Star, or buy new like you? Keep us informed as to how your new pride and joy lives up to your expectations.
