Andy_B Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Hi All, it took me a while but I finally made it in here! I am currently boat-less (had to let my Raider18, "Pippa", go at the start of lock-down last year due to a number of factors). Hardly get time to get out at the moment due to a change in job but mostly also being full-time taxi to my 15 year-old, rugby-mad, son who plays Club, District and Country-level Rugby League and Union, so needless to say is either training or playing just about every day at the moment! Really looking forward to getting out on the 24th and catching up with those I know and also meeting some new faces! Cheers, Andy Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Welcome to the new forum Andy. It's been a while but we're glad to have you back. 👍 Certainly sounds like life is keeping you busy lately. Will be good to meet you on the 24th and who knows, we might even manage to catch a few fish!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike farrants Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 welcome andy - what waters do you fish (where are you based) and what's your best ever fish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_B Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 Based just outside Cardiff so mostly fished the Bristol Channel (boat used to be at CBYC). Best (UK) fish would either be the Cod in my Avatar (around 14lb) or an 8lb Bass I had when I was out with Headlight (seconds after he caught his 10lb'er). Overall best fish would be when I lived in Malaysia though with a magnificent Sailfin (don't know how big) Bass.jfif Sail.jfif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day I took @headlight out on my boat and @Andy_B was on Pippa his old boat. He anchored a few hundred yards from me, phone pinging all day with cod pictures as we sat there with no cod…. 😢😢😢😢 Edited October 14, 2021 by Odyssey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
