Odyssey Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Ok guys it’s too bloody quiet in here. I’m bored in work and need some stuff to read/pass the time away.

Andy135 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Good call Luke. The boat session that sticks in my mind is from the summer, on Tarlach Too with the youngsters. We did more laughing than fishing that day! Link below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintly Fish Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Most of my fishing this year has been about getting the youngsters on the fish (that includes @Andy135). I have blanked on most trips (not). Seeing my Leo bring in his first undulate ray all on his little own was the highlight. Also getting the wife out fishing straight after lockdown ended and her reeling in her first ever fish. All in all it’s been a cracking year!

JonC Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I have no input here it’s been a rotten year for fishing, the best months being in lockdown 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotch_Egg2012 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) My favourite trip this year was on the Overfalls, been trying to get out there for ages. Weather and tides always transpired against us but this summer we finally got to a mark I'd been scouting. Targets were Blonde rays and pack Tope, it didn't disappoint. I lost count of the Tope in the 15-20lb range we caught but the day was finished off for me when something a bit different picked up the bait, after a bit of a tussle in the tide a lovely 25lb Blonde Ray was netted and both targets accomplished, weather had its say though and after a few more dropped runs it was time to head in as the wind had started to pick up and put an ominous chop on the sea.

Sounds like fun Scott 👍 I've yet to get out there, so if you fancy a buddy boat next time you go, give me a shout. Scotch_Egg2012 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will do Andy, lovely spot but if anchoring need small tides and no more than 10mph in the wind forecast. Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPSguru Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) As the year draws to a close, I will share with you all that in the late summer I caught a big fish, it was a feck’in monster of a fish, and probably I will never catch one of that size again in my lifetime.......... I don't normally talk about any of the big mackerel catches and we never ever share pictures or video footage ......😉 Roll on 2021 ....... 👍 Edited January 1, 2021 by GPSguru Geoff and Andy135 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
