Andy135 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Fisty and I left early to chase a unicorn in the Solent. As we made our way down to the pontoon we were stopped by @Scotch_Egg2012 to say hello. Good to meet you Scott 👍 As we headed out of Pompey Harbour I caught Neil doing his best catalogue model pose We're now anchored outside of Cowes. Whiting, pout, dogfish (yes!!!) and a couple of straps so far. Stay tuned for more updates... iowspence, jonnyswamp and GPSguru 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I have pout and whiting to my name, plus a tail-hooked dogfish 🤣 Geoff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintly Fish Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I’m in awe of Andy. Not only is he the forums dogfish master, he can even get them to come to the boat by the tail.. iowspence, Geoff and GPSguru 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintly Fish Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 So Andy was getting all despondent that I was out fishing him. His face had dropped , so I did the only thing a mate could do... I let him reel in this beast. 22lb allegedly . GPSguru and iowspence 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy135 Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 Well, no unicorns sadly but a good day on the water nonetheless. Plenty of fish to keep us occupied, and good banter. Big thanks to @Saintly Fishfor keeping a sharp lookout as we came back in thick fog! iowspence 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintly Fish Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Many thanks for the day out Andy. As always, good value for money. Next time though anchor where I said the cod hang out!👍🏻 It was an eerie return journey, just as we left the clean vicinity of the Southampton air, the thick soup like fog of old Portsmouth clung to the water like shit to a blanket.
