gaffa Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Reflections 2 has decided to wet her bottom and do the first fishing trip of the year tomorrow with the hope of at least putting something on my zero species list.😎 She has received a load of well deserved TLC recently including servicing and in and out valetting and a few upgrades so it would be a shame not to christen her with some fishy mess .😋 I will be going solo unless anyone would like to crew . It wont be an early start. PM me if interested or able to disclose any fishy spots😁 sparky, Mal Thomas, niggle and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I will need all the help I can get as haven't used her for almost 2 years She is a 1998 RYDS 600AC with a 115hp Mariner efi (2001) on the back. I have owned her since 2006 and she still does everything I need and have never felt the need to change her Jim and Tarlach. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaffa Posted July 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Well I couldn't call it a blank as I didn't even put any terminal tackle into the water, Spent a few hours on the pontoon sorting out a few bits on the boat and filled up with fuel then headed under the bridges for the harbour where I was going to try a few drifts for some microspecies . The harbour main channel was quite rough with lots of white horses so decided I could find a bit of shelter outside the harbour. Not a chance in the bay the wind and tide were causing quite uncomfortable conditions and even bigger white horses which were quite fun . Didn't take long to call it a day and returned to the drystack. Got one over the front in the harbour and got wet as I didnt have the cabin door closed All good experience for next trip....I'll wait for a better wind next time Peteg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 It's always windier on the water. Better luck next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve S Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 There is a lot of a sea breeze around currently which is often not on the forecasts. Early morning to midday is your best bet. gaffa and Jim 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
