I mean the Feb trip not your bday weekend. Or you could be a proper ledge and do both!! (Like me).💪🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GPSguru Posted February 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) I have decided to give it a miss tomorrow, as I am still on antoibiotics and would rather wait for the hopefully 'all clear' early next week, I pick up the granddaughter from school 3 days a week, this is the view from her classroom. With the school telescope she can see grandad going out fishing ! In the distance is the Orestone, with Flat rock to the right. The headland in the distance is Hopes nose. In the foreground you can see Teignmouth Pier, the Ness headland and the local harbour dredger (Teign C)working in the navigation channel. It was never like that when I was at school !

Andy135 Posted February 14, 2022 Author Share Posted February 14, 2022 Well, the forecast for the next two weeks looks rubbish on the south coast. Just about doable for some shore fishing but the boat's a no-go for me for a while... 😭 jonnyswamp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Well I walked along the sea wall today, first time for a week and the Daffodils are flowering. So as soon as this crap weather moves on I’m going to go and give the thornbacks (raja clavata) a good bashing. Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDP Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Was out Sat and Sunday, marlin, sharks and dolphin fish on both. In lock down now thanks to my sone giving a covid leper a lift on Sunday 🤨 GPSguru and Geoff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDP Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) Quick run offshore again today, within 30 mins of leaving harbour had a double hookup on striped marlin again ( first two baits in the water). Unfortunately one managed to get the circle hook into its gut so we ended up having to kill it and head straight back home with it to get it on ice. Left my daughter out there with her boat who was extremely exited having caught and released a tiger shark which are not common this far south. She had also tagged a few other sharks that didn't manage to bite through her mono marlin traces, not sure how she finished up yet. We've kept three marlin over the last three weeks which are surprisingly good to eat but would much rather release them. Todays fish was a small one of around 80kg which I passed my rod over to a youngster on his 13th birthday to land. Conditions were not the greatest for pic's due to cloud and rain but I will sort a few pic's when I down the pics onto my main computer. Hooked a marlin and bronzy in 12m of water last trip out that both took kingfish we were trying to land on light tackle!!!!! Oh almost forgot, my daughter pulled 7kgs of prawns from the lake across the road from our house two nights ago, Im sick of eating prawns!!!

No but they look just like the 10kg haul she caught before this one, a prawn is a prawn, unless they are those alien ones they get in South Africa (District 9).
