Reliving memories of this day.
Thank you Charlie and Team Alfresco for a wonderful and still memorable day afloat, some 16 years later!
So looking forward to being back on the water soon.

What's the boat of choice Tom?

Rob,
Highfield Patrol 500.
Occasionally a Highfield Patrol
760.
Both boats are from work and luckily work will now include a little bit of boat angling.
Friends and club members welcome out to sample boat angling from a Rib.

We still talk about those trips occasionally Tom
Re reading some posts on this thread , it's hard to believe that Tom broke the record twice on that day, and all these years later his record still stands.
Well done mate.

Do you remember we talked on the day that how, not far to the west, they would be good fish but, not exceptional. And you pointed out how long the record had stood until that day in club waters.
I was just the winch! You guys put us over the fish!

Lots of talk at the time [and since] about how easy it is to catch big congers, but your record still stands Tom
Believe me we have tried a few times since.
Conger bashing, does not have the following it once had.
Having Bluefin Tuna in the UK, may have diverted the attention of those that want bigger fish.

Not to be underestimated choosing the correct wreck, time of tide and how crucial plus difficult the anchoring is!
