Paul J Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Had a great day out on QT with Peter, just the two of us on that big boat was pure luxury. Went west and stopped just east of St Albans, things were very quiet. Next stop was a deep hole just west of St Albans, where we found some Tope in Slack water. Peter was first in with a fish about 15lbs and then i got my first decent one which went 31lb- doubled my PB, i was chuffed I got two more smaller fish on the trot and Peter got another before we headed off. Went hunting round a couple of other spots on the way home but nothing doing but doggies. Brilliant day out in the sun, great boat, great company and a few fish who could ask for more- thanks Peter Species wise only dogs, Tope and Mackerel Paul J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam F Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 I took pity on you and took you tope fishing - then you decided not to catch one and left me to hook out a 35lber! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Adam its always nice to have someone helping with the scent trail Duncan was more than happy to let Paul do that for his Cod fishing Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Now now............ Notice I didn't ask how many mackerel PaulJ had on his hook this time........I believe it is the right thing for crew to use large smelly baits - preferably that they bring themselves too!
