Flippin' eck! That's a session worth getting of bed for. Top dangling that - kudos to your mates, they're on fire!

That's probably about 10 years worth of catches for me... think pout instead of cod, naturally ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿคฃ

We were looking forward to a trip up to Essex to fish on Janie, but after the invite @JonCย uninvited the SLT. So, Leo and I are off to Lymington this morning to see what we can catch!

After the shock of the uninvite I've decided to give up sea fishing. Today I'm out fly-fishing instead.

Been out on the river today to give the tohatsu a shake down run. Couple of minor issues to sort but overall happy with how it went.

Now I know it works, will give it a full service and impellor kit then get the old mariner sold.

Nice to be out, met a guy with a brand new Terhi 440, nice looking little boat too

Oh well, going out on my mates (Alan) offshore 25 tomorrow. Our intention is to fish the wrecks that are 40 - 55 miles out due SE. It will be a long day, 7 to 7.

Could be a good day, or could be a less than average day. This time of the year it is all or nothing. I will be 99% SPJ for the day.

Cant do live reporting as we will be out of GSM coverage for most of the day.

I suspect I will also get press ganged to do helming duties for part of the day, but it will nice to concentrate on the fishing.

My tackle box weighed 60kg when I took it off the boat an hour ago, it now weighs 77kg, as I will need a good supply of 200g jigs.

Iโ€™m going to stick my nose out in the morning for a couple of hours, hopefully the big tides will push a few fish into the river.ย 
Iโ€™ve been down tonight and run the engine up as I still have the cold starting issues and to put some garminge update ย on which has changed the whole setup which Iโ€™ve just got used to.ย 
I donโ€™t have the disdain for the wafi community as acutely as some, but I can see why- a bloke on a large sailing yacht came over and asked me to shut my engine down as the smoke was going in his windows ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

I was a bit surprised to be honest, I get a nice set of smoke signals when I fire up but when running itโ€™s negligible.I told him I would when ย I finished left it another half hour or so.ย

Iโ€™m picking my wife up from the marina bar later, so I will have to double check it at about midnight, and Iโ€™m going out about 5 tomorrow morning ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ–•

You'll probably need to have it on tick over for 20 mins before you slip the mooring.ย

Itโ€™s recommended to let the engine warm up before opening the throttleย

๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ What a tool! What sort of person feels entitled enough to ask a stranger to stop what they're doing just to please oneself?!? ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ
