Popular Post Odyssey Posted July 1, 2024 Popular Post Posted July 1, 2024 (edited) Managed to get out on Saturday after having had a few issues with a gearbox but now all sorted so was lovely to be out sadly the forecast changed at the last minute I warned the crew we’d be in for a rough ride but tbey were keen to get out. After a rather bouncy 3 hour steam we were on the shark grounds…. First run in 30 mins. Was a decent porbeagle but sadly managed to slip the hook. Rather frustrating! we had another run which after a spirited battle we had a cute little porgie abour 100-110lb to the boat. It was wrapped up but a wave soon washed it through the door… Quick photo, tagged and released. Anorher blue of about 80lb soon came along, again tagged and released. Sadly the crew lost another porgie just underneath the boat…. I was keen to carry on but with 4 anglers with heads over the rail they decided to head in… another 3 hour steam home in a lumpy beam on sea and we were home 🙂 Lovely to be back out there hopefully a few more weatger windows abd can get out again 🙂 Edited July 2, 2024 by Odyssey Saintly Fish, Andy135, Dicky and 4 others 7 Quote
