Popular Post Odyssey Posted August 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2021 So on Sunday evening I was down the boat, full of fuel already, thanks to mate who sorted that out 🙂 It was pretty cold down there but nice and snug in my sleeping bag, alarm set for 06:15 as Ian ( @headlight) was due to meet me on boat at 06:30. Woke up to voices ar 06:00…. He was already there, so quickly got dressed and, called the pier head to sneak out of free flow 🙂 we were out of the marina by 06:15 🙂 A little over 2 hours later we started our drift, chum out, rods out put the kettle on and 5 mins later Ian was into a nice blue giving him the run around 🤣🤣🤣 Thats how it went all day…. Constant fish. 24 blues, best going 140lb at least 5 over a ton, most 80-90lb. If it was quiet, I mixed up some fresh chum, to boost the chum and straight away into fish. I can’t stress enough why you need regular chum and keep that chum bag releasing well all day! We could of had more as we had a few in the slick at end of the day we were sight fishing for but these we’re smaller ones, only 70lb so after chatting to the crew with achy arms we headed home. Was right call as wind got up and got a bit of sorwy coming in from easterly wind. Back into Marina just before 7pm. Long day but worth jt 🙂 Nice to get Odyssey back on the sharks, now for something a little bigger maybe 🤔🤔🤔 Pics to follow once I get them sent over Bass&Chips, mick, suzook12 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most I have ever heard of is Kieren Faisey (Lo-Kie -Penzance) with his brother Liam, had 104 blues in one day. I think they try the 'ton up' every year, last year they got to 60+ and then Liam hooked a 300lb BFT 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe there is a chance. BFT not up here yet, I’ll soon get distracted when they do 🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw much more life out there, Dolphins getting bait balls together, gannets diving, whales out there etc. Seems like Celtic deeps is really waking up at last 🙂 I’m sure Andrew will put you on the fish 🙂 Dicky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 Took some work friends out to the islands and a few beers at watwick. Tried to take them fishing but more interested in fish stealing seals…. I’ve heard the reefs are quiet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes mate, nothing at all on the reefs we tried, not even a take Went out to a wreck and picked up around 30 Pollock between the 8 of us to 10lb I dropped 2 half way up that were easily doubles (compared to the 6/7lb fish I caught) The first snapped the snood just before the main line and the second straightened quite a thick hook There were certainly bigger fish down there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been a weird year down there 😬 jonnyswamp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
