Was going to have dangle and gain some brownie points with a family day out on the boat!
Great day out but very little fishing as on drinks and food duty all the time for the guests!!
Good day out, brownie points in the bag only for me!

We had a good go.........16 species for team Wishin
How many were in your team?
Allan.
Despite our recent successes, Fisheagle did not have a very good day on the fish front. The weather was superb and the company was great and I was able to run at just over 5000 revs giving us a speed of 30 knots. However, we were not able to fish Poole Patch to increase our species count due to a perceived oil pressure problem which which delayed us and had us limping from Southbourne across the Bay at just over 1000 Revs and 3/4 knots. Thanks to Dave and John for going onto the bathing platforms and helping me lift off the engine cowling. Not something we would recomend even in calm weather even if you are wearing a life jacket and roped on. Also to Charlie for offering to help us back had we needed it. It turned out to be a quirk of the Suzuki engine which kept the oil warning light flashing but did not give audible alarms and limit the engine revs. This apparently would have been a real problem. However, what we had and suspected, was an indication that an oil change was required, but we needed to satisfy ourselves that there was oil and no overheating. To stop the light flashing we needed to switch off the engine, remove the Kill Cord and manually pull the Kill Cord Switch in and out three times. Never had issues like this with the old Nanni Diesel engine.
Species wise, dismal totals with three species to Dave and five to me.
Nothing to report from aboard Frisky Fox <img src="/emoticons/default_sad.png" alt=":(" data-emoticon="" srcset="/emoticons/sad@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />
The worms died, and after the SE 4-5 on Saturday, we didn't sally forth in the end.

Along with Nigel and Mal, Sam and I went out aboard Wishin Too for the day.
Sam was very pleased to catch lots of mackerel, a mini Ballan wrasse, a nice little spotted ray of 2lb 3oz and a Tope of about 10lb- contributing to Team Wishin's total.
Thanks Nigel and Mal (not a couple... <img src="/emoticons/default_biggrin.png" alt=":D" data-emoticon="" srcset="/emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /> ) for having us along!
Competition rules for Summer Species Hunt – 1 of each species to be counted per Angler – top angler wins.
I am sure it would help Neil if each angler posted the number of species caught
Dave
Sorry to be thick,but if we all caught a mackerel is that 1 each or can only one person claim it?
Nigel........14 species
Mal...........12 species
Sam ..........4 species

I have a question re an earlier post, can my species count on sweet pea species count, I know it doesnt usually when caught on another boat. Please clarify for a very confused angler.
Species must be caught on your boat (but can move to another boat should you sell and buy a new one) can l be caught by anyone, member or not I think. But it is a species comp for your boat, not you.

I see where you are going with this Mal, you want to put your shark on Saturday against Sweetpea!!! Lol
Nice try!!
