Popular Post Odyssey Posted May 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Day one: Lugged fuel bait and chum to boat, slept on boat, froze.... woke up, met Ian in Marina, went out on free flow, 25knt cruise to Celtic deeps..... fished nothing.... I blame the cat of doom. He was laughing at me lugging my chum along. His mate is friendly but his owners weren’t around to bring him down so I was left with Mr Grumpy. At least the boat looks good. Came home, Ian went home, Emma and Daisy arrive, time for beer! Due to COvid rules etc was first meal and pint out..... was lush 🙂 I had picked up an electric heater, slightly less cold on the boat. Emma was ok, she was cuddling the dog. Enticed dog over soon got warm, but dog was stolen back 😮 Woke up to sunshine and flat seas so off to the islands for breakfast. Breakfast in sun before fishing 🙂 about 30 pollack around 2-4lb kept a few for family rest went back. Seemed a shame to put back lovely shark baits but freezer full to brim already 🤣🤣 Stopped in Haven for a nap. Too much beer night before.... oops! Back in for a bit of grub and more beer. Then popped to Tenby on way home to keep Emma happy. Gales tomorrow so make some more chum up. Lovely to be back out to there!!! On a happier note I’ve moved some weight around on the boat, keeps her nose down and bum up, fuel is about 10% better economy. Hit 43knts in the haven before it got too congested to do more but reckon on a 1/3 tank she’ll do 45+ which is nice 🙂 Edited May 2, 2021 by Odyssey jonnyswamp, Cuda4, GPSguru and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Well done, that sounds fantastic compared with how things have been.

Saintly Fish Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 @Odysseynice write up Luke, sounds like a lovely trip(s). Did @headlightcatch anything? btw, being a long standing member, isn’t it about time you learnt to spin your photos the right way up?? Or have you taken a leaf out of @JonC’s book and expect the ginger one to do it for you🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I can’t believe that @Andy135 hasn’t taken that as it was meant, as a compliment. Maybe the meds are making his brain go funny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never usually start my sharking until at least mid June, sometimes later, which will ideally falls into the period when the BFT begin to arrive in numbers. It looks like you have a good head of inshore reef Pollock, great on light spinning tackle. Sounds like a good couple of days out 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gsles this week so no trips for a while, hopefully pollack will get bigger too.... should be 5-8lb on the offshore reefs soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
