Mal Thomas Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 Chris has done a wonderful job on her during the lift out, too much to mention but she is a tribute to hard work. There is a spring in her step as well as Chris touched 18 knots. With number one son and Jack Russell for company we set off West in search of some rod bending action. What we actually did was catch a good number of species. The weather was kind and the Sea has reached the magic 12 degrees. We even had a Helicopter fly past going West and right over us. Thanks for the invite and another memorable day afloat in good company. Jim, jerry.shutter, fisherman1055 and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin-58 Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 Sounds like you boys had a fun day Mal, are the mackerel showing in numbers yet I wonder? Expect Chris may be putting a report up when he gets time, can't wait to start joining in the fun in a few weeks time when work allows 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfisher 126 Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 A great day out Mal, thanks for arranging the bait and nibbles. A good few species to kick start the season between us. Mal with an 11lb 3oz undulate after a 4ld thorn back. Blake caught a 4ld bass and another soon after slightly smaller. Showing you don’t need an anchor as a hook for a decent fish, Blake still had a bream hook on. A mature blonde and 13lb 1oz blonde ray. IMG_0410.MOV A flyby just because it was the first trip out in ages!! Blake and Cooper having a kip on the engine hatch. All finished off with a cool Guinness in the clubhouse, perfect. 👍 IMG_0410.MOV Greg, niggle, Colin-58 and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
