niggle Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 A Monday plan was hatched with Chris and I to go wrecking.....not because of tides but because the weather would be ideal.So 6.30 on kingfisher and off we went discussing several options but agreed going west was the best bet.We tried a couple of wrecks about 5 miles or so before our target wreck which produced straight away and all fish were of a good size about 6 to 8lb apart from 2 .The fish hit really hard so hard we often thought it was snagged in the wrecks until they nodded their heads and in fantastic condition,we both lost some very big fish that either went in the wrecks or the hooks pulled. We wandered off and tried several more wrecks with the action slower as the day progressed but kept throwing up the odd one.At this stage I think we lost more end tackle than fish landed but that's wrecking,the weather was brilliant with smooth seas. We had 11 keepers and a brilliant early wrecking trip with us both tired after a 12 hour stint,I didn't take any photos of the fish but here's a few of the conditions we had to endure.

Kingfisher 126 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 A good day to be out and cheers Nigel for the company. I have taken some video of us wrecking, or should I say increasing the size of wrecks if it comes out ok I will try to attach at some point!! No promises! The boat got up to 18.5 knots on the way back as it was so light with the tackle left behind on the wrecks! Got to be in amongst them to find the fish at times! . Another night pirk making coming up!

Kingfisher 126 Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Martin you are right, autopilot taking the stress out, gave me time to decide what tackle to loose next!! I've watched the video today and I'm thinking there maybe an opening in turning it into a rig tying film and testing the curve on fishing rods!!
