Leicester Fisheagle Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 With the Flatty and Ray weekend Comp having been cancelled, and with Tuesday looking good at the moment, I could well be looking for Crew. Nothing too strenuous, after 9 start and return around 4pm. Please PM. Share costs. The only requirement is the ability to handle a large landing net. Alan..

lofty Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 With the predicted weather coming true, I finished work at 11 and launched at Branksome beach in the hope of snagging a bass. Using the fiiish minnow I trolled to Bournemouth rocks but nothing. Tied on to a buoy and dropped it down . Straight into small pollock, Had half a dozen in the same way , but watching a retrieve it was followed by Gar. Switched to the trusty dexter wedge and gar first cast. After that I was watching them darting all around the boat, quite a big shoal of them , and ended up playing with them by dropping down. Water was really clear and I could see down about 25 feet Vis I left the dexter on and let it drop down. 1st a maccy, then a good tub, then a piranha bream. Back on with the battered fiiish and more pollock Squid remained untouched and all 5 species fell to lures today. A fantastic October afternoon Kingfisher 126, charlieannear, Steve S and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfisher 126 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Well done Steve, and what an achievement to get to 30 species on your yaks! You have got every species you have gone for I think. Just need to get to get a job like yours where I can grab a few hours when the weather is right! Good luck with the species hunting the rest of the year. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Fisheagle Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hi Lofty, could only pick up about half of the conversation on the radio, but I understood that you were getting lots of Gars and enjoying some fun action as evidenced by your usual high quality pictures. John Stephenson came out for a few hours as they have cancelled his hospital operation in Dorset for the fourth time. The weather was superb and the boat clocked 39.8knts. with 400 revs to spare. There were several boats near us on the Horseshoe, but it was no way near as good as last month.. We caught a number of species,but mainly Dogs and Red Gurnards. Jim who fished three big Mackeral strips and then three unwashed squid only had Dogs, but they were at least a good size. Maybe he will have better luck next time when he manages to come out . Tony, not sure about the weather for Friday,but will talk to you/PM if there is an opening. Coddy and niggle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 I can't even add those Doggies to my species list - - - - they were'nt on MY boat. Cheers for the day out Allan. Do I owe you some fuel money ? ? ? ? ? Jim niggle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Fisheagle Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 No, maybe next time but you could have cleaned your corner of the boat a bit better. Allan. Graham Nash and niggle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Ok Allan when your hitting them speeds how's the fuel consumption on average How often do you fill up Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Fisheagle Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 I have only done these speeds twice for a very short time in flat calm conditions. Generally, if conditions allow, I cruise between 16 knots (3500 revs) and 24 knots (at around 4500 revs) with 4000-4200 giving 20 knots or just over. Max revs are 6000. Fuel cosumption is about 1.8 litres a nautical mile. As the tank holds 285 litres I probably fill up every three or four trips. I leave a minimum of a quarter tank for safety ( about 40 miles worth) and usually fill up to 3/4 of a tank. The only problem is petrol is more expensive than some of sources of Diesel which are out there. However, Service costs should be a bit cheaper. It's swings and roundabouts. If I could have found a newish diesel Pilot House with a leg at the right price I could have gone that way. Allan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
