Popular Post Odyssey Posted November 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2022 Boat lift out booked so that signals the end of my season 😞 Not the finish I’d of wanted with crap weather! Boat coming out on December 8th so at least it’s out for the usual December, January, February storms…. New coppercoat, sea cocks, engine service, polish, maybe a new deck paint at least this time round, maybe a few extras… Its been a good year 🙂 Andy135, mick, thejollysinker and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it lack of fish or what? Round here Feb, March and April is the time to be out of the water! GPSguru 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Round here Feb, March and April is the time to be out of the water! The issue is getting a slot in the boat yard… the boat yard is not big enough for everyone so there is always a scramble for places… I’ve got some house renovations to do too so it’s a struggle to fit it all in…. February/March can bring a nice run of whiting and herring so I’m hoping to be back in for that. Main issue is id be stuck in the haven as flat days with no wind or swell are few and far between! Next year I maybe in Cardiff or Plymouth so hopefully more fishing…. Depends how exams go 😬😬😬😬😬 Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although TBF I can catch Mackerel all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the advantage on being able to get out most days too… 🙂 Id rather save my holiday for warm summer days afloat drifting in the warm seas catching big fish….. then again I live in Wales, I need to retire and move down south to do that with you lucky buggers 😂😂😂😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
