Popular Post Malc Posted August 28, 2023 Popular Post Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) Marina competition and just two of us instead of three on the boat, booked in and off we go into pretty much flat calm. As we were nearing the wreck we had wanted to fish we saw a commercial on it so went to a 2nd option. Plenty of snags and 2 whiting, on 8/0's and baited muppets, later we changed our plan and tried inshore and again it was pretty clear that the fish weren't interested in what we had to offer, soft plastic lures, muppets, fine slithers of fresh mackerel... We too and froed and picked up a trio of fair sized codling and returned a few tiddlers and I even had problems getting 4" sandeel slugs through the mackerel at times so it wasn't easy, even the commercial and pleasure anglers were moving about a lot. We returned earlier than expected and were told we were the only ones weighing in so far with 40 minutes to the end of the competition. Things were looking good as the last competition we didn't weigh in 3 fair pollock and a sub 2lb ling won (all gutted weight) which was gutting for us. 5 minutes to go and there was no boats in the lock or the pontoon so we had it, grand slam! Bottle of beer to celebrate, £100 voucher for marina work and I think £75 cash so it all goes back into the boat! Played for and got 🍾🎣 Edited August 28, 2023 by Malc mick, suzook12, Geoff and 4 others 7 Quote
