Popular Post Tony smith Posted July 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2021 Diceded to go early Sunday morning Met up with James my fishing buddy early. Got down to the boat at 5.30am Weather was as good as it gets. We had chum to cut up and fill the boat with fuel then we were off. Thought we would hit Deantail again for the mackerel it hasn't let us down yet. I was right 40 mackerel in 20 minutes well chuffed. We decided to drift from the Nab Tower down to St Catherine's Point. It was the worst day we've had in a while. I had a save the blank Dogfish James had a small Tope about 8lb. Even though we were on neap tides the water was pushing through hard. James had a right old scrap with his Tope. The weather was so hot. The best thing is getting a cold beer out of the cool box. Nothing taste better than an ice beer out on the boat. We headed back and saw a couple of Threshers jumping just to rub our noses in it. All in all a great day out on the boat with great company. Boat went great. See you all when I have a Thresher to talk about. I will still keep dreaming 😂😂 tight lines everyone. See all of our videos on sharksmithangling on YouTube thanks Tony Dicky, Saintly Fish, Andy135 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Nice write up Tony. Sounds like a lovely day afloat even if the sharks weren't playing. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Can i ask why you started your drift at the Nab tower? That must be 10 miles from St Catherines. I would be surprised if you could drift that far in a single tide. JDP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony smith Posted July 25, 2021 Author Share Posted July 25, 2021 Hi Dicky I was told to give it a try from Angling & Anxiety that's where he caught his. won't be doing it again. I would say about 7 miles on a drift. Thanks for the info 👍👍 Dicky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDP Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Most of mine were between Ventnor and St Catherins and always seem to be on the drift towards St Catherins rips. I have caught them close to the Needles but most of the time it was mostly porbeagles in that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
