Crabstick tourney results s/shields pier

[toonboymc]

Poor turn out only 4 of us me. Mad rob. Fishingmark and the gnome
So a massive £8 winnings lol
Mad rob straight in the leed with a pb dab of 30 cm then I got a coalie of 32 cm
Mark got a new species a nice dragonette

The gnome Paul turned up late and was having a poor start losing gear left right and centre snagging up every cast but did get 2 new species a flounder and a common blenny well done mate
Mark got the biggest sea scorpion I have ever seen rob had a little rattle but when he reeled in there was his bait and only the head of a coalie left on the hook so don't no if something took it on the way in
Then rob caught a dab which swallowed both hooks on his flapper rig greedy little b......d
A few more coalies on muscle then rob got 2 coalies off the belt to win the tourney of 33 and 34 cm
Well done rob guess that £8 will going to get 8 tinnies mate and as tradition goes the customary leap
Outcast Chris and Andyco came along to catching a few coalies but nowt of any size
The whole of the Fishfingers family were out Stan. Grant and James if grant had entered he would of won with his eel unlucky you greedy little ........... Lol cheers for the worms n crab grant and hope you enjoyed them 500 sweets you borrowed off us
We were plagued with black flys they were a nightmare to finish the session with rob getting a new species to common blenny
Great weather and crack as usual but was hoping for a coddie or 2 but not this time heard there was a few caught near the end until next time tight lines and stay safe

Codfather145 doesn't turn up and the others cry off!

Looks like you had another good day with some decent weather and a few fish.

Jealous, Lynn and I rehearsed all day with 30 odd teenagers for Grease, knackered!

[andyco]

I stayed down till half 10, Got nothing else. Had 2 good bites, but snagged both times. Lost 4 rigs today

 

[fishingmark]

Not the best day's fishing but still a good day out with excellent weather. Loads of NESA lads out yesterday and a busy pier with the comps on. Thanks again Steve (Bestnest) for the worms, saw us through till we packed up.
The old pen trick worked a treat again taking two hooks out of Rob's dab in one go, still don't know how it works though

If you want to see a bigger one John have a look at my pictures folder on my profile, that red one was a whopper, felt like a cod coming in with that big mouth gaping.

I keep hearing about this pen trick, but how does it work ?

It's unbelievable works every time with just a pen or pencil a greedy dab swallowed both hooks on a flapper rig and it still worked as Paul Daniels said ...... That's magic.....

How do you do it then ?

 

[fishingmark]

How do you do it then ?

Push the pen down past the hook in the fish's mouth, hold the line against the pen with your finger and thumb then gently spin the fish and the hook dislodges. I think when the line wraps around the pen it alters the angle that the hook is in the fish and it comes free.
When I say a pen, any similar shaped object will do the trick.
Also remember to do this as close to the ground as possible so the fish does not have far to drop

 

[magpies]

Thanks mate, I will try that
