dytkos 17,843 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Organised a trip for a fella's stag do on a boat out of Looe yesterday. Weather was undecided when we set off but it came good and we had a beautiful day. Caught a bit of bait after a short cruise out of the harbour. Steamed out a few miles and got stuck in on a big reef. Had a good variety, put the doggies and the little conger back but caught some decent pollack, lots of good sized whiting and lots of bits, not as many pouting as we would have expected but got quite a few all the same. I didn't take many decent pics (as usual). Continued on next page as no room for any more pics Cheers, D. 1 Quote Link to post
dytkos 17,843 Posted September 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Was myself, Robbo and Moletrapper off this site on the trip, this being probably my best effort although me, Robbo and Andy the butcher all lost BIG fish, the ones that got away eh? Should have taken some better shots of the total haul as this doesn't do it justice. We had a lot of fish LOL But a real good day, bit of crack and plenty of fish in the freezer and an extra day off work And the Labtastic Cup for feck ups goes to Matt and Stuart, with this classic bit of knotsmanship - Nobs 2 Quote Link to post
