crisdafish Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Hello from Chippenham, I live in Wiltshire but the boat's in Scotland at the Isle of Whithorn. I bought a Reiver Sportsman new in 1992 which I've just replaced with an Orkney PilotHouse 20. Boat fishing is summer only for me, I love my shore fishing for codling in the winter. I'll look forward to a great forum Chris Andy135, iowspence, Scotch_Egg2012 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy135 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Welcome to Offshore Outlaws! Good to have you with us. Your username seems familiar - guessing you were on the dark side previously too? 😉 Orkney boats are well thought of. Good choice. Post up some pics in the "Show us yer boat" thread so we can all admire her 👍 Edit: Swampy beat me to it 😄 We do love a good boat pic!

Boat pic uploaded, yes, it is a fair trek but I've been doing that for nearly 30 years now, I've retired now so I'm able to pick and choose travelling times to suit Andy135 and JonC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I think we need a facepalm option under the "Like" menu as that's the second time today I've caught you making a "Dad" joke, and it's even worse than the first! 1/10 at best - go stand in the corner and think about what you've done... 🤦♂️ Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Hi, and welcome to the site. This forum is fairly new and is getting better with the recent influx of new members. Most of the other members who saw the light are (as opposed to the dark side) and became outlaws are a bit nutty, but there are a few of us normal types here as well. Geoff.☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too far from Cardiff if you ever fancy a trip 🙂 Thanks, I may take you up on that sometime. I haven't fished from a boat out of Wales for a while, before I had my own boat I used to use the charter boats out of Swansea. I see quite a few Welsh boats over the English side of the Bristol Channel when I'm shore fishing in the winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Yeah, quite a few of us go poaching the English fish 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly not, I had a few codling back in early November but lots of blanks lately, a few blanks were saved by strap eels or thornbacks. The Bristol Channel isn't on form this year, by this time last year my freezer was half full. I'm sort of grounded at the moment, I live in a Tier 2 area and the area that I fish (Severn Bridge to Weston Super Mare) is in Tier 3. I did think about going over to the Welsh side but I don't think they are faring any better. Thanks for the reminder, If i do get anything worth reporting I'll post Chris JonC, Andy135 and suzook12 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
