Popular Post Dicky Posted September 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2021 Took the boat down to Fowey for 5 days last week. Mixture of wrecking, sharking and inshore. 8 blues to over 100lb plenty of pollack and a bass off a wreck, some plaice from the harbour and loads of whiting when drifting for the sharks. Other fish caught were ballan and cuckoo wrasse, scad, pout, gurnard and mackerel (only 6 all week). Great time and hopefully back next year Andy135, Saintly Fish, suzook12 and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of options... try posting them in separate posts. There's a post size limit as well as an individual picture limit. Or, try uploading to Imgur then pasting the image URL into your posts, which means unlimited pics per post with no size limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPSguru Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Excellent dangling Dicky 👍 No giant macks when sharking ? There are a few about now. I saw some on Friday morning in lyme bay feeding with a pod or two of dolphins. Those Pollock look tidy, that big one in the foreground must be close to a double.

Makes me wish I still had a trailer boat 👍👍 Where do you launch from in Fowey? The slip in the car park by the ferry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see a giant mack all week, only had 6 baby ones lol. The biggest pollack was only around 7lb but good eating fish. GPSguru 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is nice to go to different venues every now and then and target something else. Andy135 and GPSguru 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 That’s the issue worth my boat…. Im hoping to get further afield next year, maybe a long weekend in padstow or Newquay for big porgies, but I’m kind so limited by marinas/refilling options sadly. Maybe Ireland? 🤔🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan on Reel Deal has had a cracking run of porgies and a few threshers Yeah Ilfracombe is the plan, it’s 50 miles each way to hartland point so well doable, just need the weather! I plan to do an overnight in Ilfracombe and make a weekend of it chasing porgies 🙂 Hopefully get my 2022 season off to a good start. Ive already started looking at options to refuel in Ireland to get to the Alantic Shelf to see if can get a 6 Gill…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are looking for monster porgies, then head further down to Boscastle / Tintagel 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Dan has done ok west of Hartland point. Refuelling choices ain’t great down there, I don’t think there is petrol in the marina in Padstow so I have to take enough to get there and back and for trips in the middle so careful calculation of distance etc required to see how possible… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headlight Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I"ve got 8 jerry cans you can borrow if you want. That will give you an extra 160 litres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
