Yes Mick, it was a bit lumpy going down to Dancing Ledge but we were going with the tide and wind. It would have been a different story if we were heading East 😬
Thanks for the day out Terry.
I really enjoyed it despite failing to get the target species. They seemed to be in small, tight groups and unfortunately we didn't seem to find a busy spot.
You forgot to say that at our first mark you chucked your line down without any bait on the hooks just to test the tide and pulled up a Mackerel. 👍

Well done all who took part, and congratulations to Greg on the winning fish.
Species Comp is 18th 19th June
Thank you Jerry,
Nine years of being a member and taking part in club competitions and this is my first win 😁
The fish was a beautiful specimen and would have adorned the plate in the finest restaurant.
Notice, I said would have !!!
Whilst I was cleaning said fish on the rear bathing platform, I had just finished gutting it and was throwing the bucket of entrails into the water with my right hand and the bloody fish popped out of my left hand straight into the drink and went straight down !!! I was gutted, Stuie laughing didn't do anything to help either. 🤣🤣
I must admit I felt a bit of an idiot!! Oh well, you live and learn - again !!!!
Here's to the next comp
well i am sure something had a good meal out of it.
i did the same thing last year, with a big bass. thankfully mine floated as i hadn't yet gutted it.
Never feels good to be outwitted by a dead fish.
This is too late to help those above......but....don't bother gutting bass or bream ...just keep them as cold as possible.
Even after a few days in the fridge they are in good condition [ and improved flavour ]
Fillet straight off the whole fish as you want them.... I scale the bass but the bream I skin and off comes the scales with the skin.
Saves a lot of mess on the boat ...and the eating is better.
