If anyone else is out Dean and I will be through the 8:30 bridge listening on the usual channel
Yep, might give you a radio check martin from the other side of the bay.
Tight lines,

Twas to lumpy to stay out there long, we ended up fishing the harbour, did you go out Rob?
Sorry, read this as going tomorrow, I won't bother calling you up!!
R
Should have gone to specsavers
Likewise with today's forecast!!!
Did you catch much?

Rob today was the only day Dean and I could get out so today it was, the downside being we ended up fishing the harbour.
We had mackerel and bass so not a blank. I did loose a very good fish. First bite and my rod was going mental picked it up and could feel the weight of a good fish which was also taking line then gone. Reeled in only to find my 2/0 hook had partially straightened out which obviously allowed the fish to bounce off, I would have loved to have seen what it was or rather what size bass it was. I will also stop buying cheap hooks <img alt=":sleepy:" data-emoticon="true" src="/emoticons/sleepy.png" title=":sleepy:">
Never mind we had the cobwebs blown away and we weren't at work
The one that got away eh? <img alt=":lol:" data-emoticon="" src="/emoticons/default_laugh.png" title=":lol:" />
Well done for getting out. Shame about that big fish though.
Really looking forward to getting a covid vaccine jab in the new year so we can all get out a bit more.
Maybe it was a bigger version of one of these Martin....caught in the harbour today.
Is it me or there seems to be lot more codlings being caught than previous years?
Let's hope so Kam.
And hope all the little ones are able to grow into big ones.

The big issue is the legal size fo these things - 35cm - quick read and that ia bout 1 year old, then mature at 3-4 years (some say 2-3 yrs) - crazy!
We had bass yesterday of near legal c.40 and that looked tiny!!!!
Can comment on private boats but I'm sure club members are very conservation minded and return young fish.
However I've seen anglers along anything legal.
