Popular Post Andy135 Posted October 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2023 Out with @Saintly Fish, Leo and my daughter Emily this morning on Tarlach Too. This was Em's first boat fishing session and we were hopeful of a catch or two to keep her interest levels up. Skipper delivered us to the mark and bites began from the off. Before long the first fish came to the boat, courtesy of Em's rod - a lovely late season bream. Leo was into a fish next, a conger of reasonable proportions. Swiftly followed by one for his dad... Em was up next with another nice bream. And before you ask... yes, I managed a dogfish or two on the sly in between baiting up and unhooking for her 😁 We moved out into the channel proper to practice our MOB drills with @Saintly Fish's anchor buoy when it decided that it would prefer to jump ship and bob off downtide. A sticky snap-shackle seemed to be the culprit. The tide was pulling hard by now, but we did manage to boat a few more fish, including a nice little smoothound for Em. Headed back home about mid-afternoon and saw a Spitfire flying over us just before we left. More drama as we retrieved anchor - the windlass was clearly straining this time and the reason why quickly became apparent. The anchor had picked up an old pot rope which gave Neil some grief until a sharp knife was found to cut it free. All home safe and sound though and massive thanks to Neil and Leo for helping to make Em's session such a success. 👍👍 suzook12, Malc, Saintly Fish and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike farrants Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Awesome days fishing and some fantastic memories made there! (I also once lost the anchor bouy while anchored - had to leave the anchor rope attached to a load of fenders, go rescue the bouy, return to my anchor rope, then fashion a new alderney ring out of a bucket handle. I learned a lot that day!) Geoff and Andy135 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Well done getting out, How comes Thomas has been sacked off? Or is he fed up with dogfish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's fed up of being sea-sick. I keep telling him that it will only happen if he insists on bringing his Switch and staring at the screen all the time. Unsurprisingly Em didn't bring any screens and wasn't sea-sick whatsoever... GPSguru, JonC and suzook12 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went out on JG with Andy and Thomas last year Thomas kept saying he felt cold and sick then winking at me and laughing when @Andy135turned away. Not sure what that was about?
