great white Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 I need to give the boat a spin, so I am thinking of going on Saturday. Target probably some whiting if I can find them on these tides. Currently no crew, so if anyone would like to come, please get in touch.

great white Posted November 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 Thanks for the rapid response Guys Looks like Jim and Stuie are keen and available. It will be a lovely change to have Members that have not yet fished on Alfresco onboard. Lets hope the skipper can still find some fish.

Graham Nash Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 what sort of area are you likely to be Charlie? I may pop out myself too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 We'll be at the Secret Whiting mark Graham. Follow the signs saying "ye olde secret Whiting mark" as you pass the chain ferry. In other words. I don't have the foggiest but Charlie may have a plan. I'm hoping it involves plenty of Tea & Coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Up early and off to Parkstone Marina by just after 7 ish. Stuie was already unloading his car when I got there. 🙂 ½ a marathon to the end of "F" pontoon. ( Not a chocolate bar though). Kettle was already hot so a quick cuppa was needed. Set off through the harbour on silky smooth water. Past the chain ferry then headed for the "secret Whiting mark" with expectations quite high. Charlie got his hands on a "big buxom blonde" very quickly followed by Stuie getting a slightly undersized Whiting so we dared to think it was going to be a good day's fishing. Dave came and joined us about 100 yards away on Reel Magic and we were getting plenty of Doggies. We think that Graham arrived as well? but not sure as he was a little further away. Stuie got HIS hands on a "big buxom blonde" as well but she was 1 bra size down from Charlies ! We had Bacon Baps supplied by the skipper for lunch. (Thanks Charlie) Not an eventful day's fishing but a great day out on flat sea in a great boat, great Skipper & good company. I think we had: Whiting (Charlie had 2 goalies), Dogs, Dogs, Dogs, Blondes, Congers, very small Smoothies & more Doggies. But I loved it. So good to get out again. Thank you Charlie & Stuie. - - - And thanks for the invite for next week's Cod / Whiting comp too Charlie. Looking forward to it.

Stuie Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Thanks for a great trip Charlie - bacon butties were an unexpected treat - and thanks Jim for the endless teas and coffees. A lovely day to be out with great company. sparky, Jim and Rob 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin-58 Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Good to read Jim and Stuie, what do you mean Stuie the bacon butties were an unexpected treat, surely you realize Charlie is an excellent skipper and while planning the cod whiting trip he will have added the butties on to his list, that was the only bit he was going to guarantee 😂. Sounds like three boys on a boat, and a good day out well done Charlie👍. Colin. Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaicemat Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 As a complete aside, watching the BBC offering about the fishing industry in Cornwall, one of the skippers was targeting blonde rays, I for one hadn't realised they were such a sought after commercial fish.
