So, anothe Autum, and JoJo heads west with Adam as crew.
Β
We went to Plymouth this time, a first. Been to Dartmouth, Mylor Falmouth and Mullion Lizard before.
Β
I wanted to see the Eddystone, I think.it.is iconic.
Β
We had scoped out a slip, as Adam I and were in Plymouth a few months ago looking at a Cheeta Cat for JV replacement (it did not become the actual replacement).
Β
Where can you got with 2 super wide and accessable slipways with free parking? AWESOME!
Β
We headed down Thursday pm, to a questionable campsite, but, it was convenient!
Β
Friday we headed out with plenty of burley and frozen bait.
Β
We launched and headed to Eddystone in the fog. Could not see it for ages, then it appeared put of the mist, having heard it for most of our journey.
Β
Featherd some macs (to 1lb6oz), tiny fish busting ther surface, oil flat sea, amazing. We used the electric outboard for some movement, as wind and tide were near non-existent, and holding us still as working against each other.
Β
We many interactions with dolphins, saw (mostly heard) whales, all day and a single blue.
Β
Hearing dolphins on or tuna was a game, what would appear from the mist..... could be either. Great scenes of both!!!
Β
Day two was similar, but much better vis.
Dolphins, tuna, whales (minke), awesome, what a trip for the wildlife alone!
Β
No sharks, I said to Ad, we have had them as packing up before. Reeled in a couple of rods, I saw a shoal of 100 2" fish moving behind the boat. We'd seen these earlier you but not in such formation , I the. Noted, they are following a small blue.
Β
it then took a pollack we had chucked in fromntje coolbox of macs.game on last call.
Β
Again, nothing big, but welcome. Weather was awesome, good company, what more could we have had?
Β
Superb.

Well done both.
I was fishing a competition at Plymouth, departing Mountbatten, and I saw you outside the marina as I was leaving.
