Local Rock mark 8 July 09 11:30 – 13:30

Went in hunt of Gars but no joy, only saw one Mackerel caught too.

Gotta catch something soon surely!!

5th July 2 hours on the Gimp.

Took “The Gimp” out for the first time this year headed to Meadfoot but a bit breezy to say the least!!

Went to Greenway quay and just inflated it an it pissed down, we hung on and went for about 2 hours more of a boat trip than a fish bit slung out a Dexter, Maria Chase BW and White eel bit no bites but we didnt care great to be out on our little boat again.

Slapton for an hour 4th July 09 18:30 – 1:30

Took the good lady Mrs Putty for Fish and Chips at the Start Bay Inn we arrived about 18:30 so I thought I would have an hours spin before we had our dinner.

I rigged up a Dexter and a single Sabiki Teaser and had 6 or so Mackies and after about 3 casts this fine speciem.

About 10″ long didnt weigh it though and put him back, would have used it as a live bait but knew dinner was calling.

Gilt Mark 1/7/09 06:30 – 13:30

Up at 04:30 and took a long drive to the secret mark!!

Armed with peeler after 6 hours landed a small poxy bass sod all else!!

Trying to return the little fella he did a back flip and gilled my thumb I am not a wuss but its a good gash and it throbs like mad!!

Tuesday 30th June 09 4 Venues!!

What a day!!

Up at 04:30 and met Ianat 05:30 in Dawlish.

Caught one schoolie at the Exe, painfull experiance as my cheapo waders rubbed my leg so badly it cut it completly on the opposite side of an infected mozzie bite I got in Spain last week.

Brought some sandeels had an hour outside Wrigglers hut no joy.

Stopped at Institute beach tried sandeel peeler, prawn and spinning nothing.

Got a bucket of water for the sandeels and when i got home the bucket had tipped and all water on floor of boot and sandeels dead!!

Not a good day, hopefully it will recover later as I am on another Bass hunt this evening.

Update, went bassing with Banger and Ade no bass but alive with mackerel.

Gemini 34 miles out Cod trip 12 June 09

Got on board at 06:00

1/2 hour out a party of 5 had forgot reels booms etc, 4 novices and one experianced angler, but no turning back so off we steamed.

1st drop my mate Paul had one and lost it at the surface, and another Wreck fishing virgin had one 14lb 10.

Anyhoo with out writing a novel, I had 7 Cod two over 10 lb at 10 14 and 10 4 and a few about the 6lb mark. My mate Paul had 6 cod and 1 pollock and 41 cod were landed. Dave H said would have been more if we were all fishing as the newbies seemed to be out the water 3/4 of the time.

Really strange this was Paul only caught on white Shads and I only caught on Rhubarb and Custard Sidewinders he caught a few then went quiet while it was my turn then vice vera, despite lure change onyly on these colours and never a double hook up for us both.

Had a bit for my tea LOVELY!!

Heres a pic my mate took, Dave H took a good one which will no doubt be on Fishing Dartmouth soon, ill pop it up when I can copy it added now.

5th June 09 Princess Pier then Babbacombe Pier

Last day off back to work tomorrow, big hangover so an easy fishing session was required.

Arrived at PP about 10:30 and used small sandeels and got 2 Mackies nothing special about a lb a piece, tried my squid jig for 15 mins got bored and as the car parking was about to expire off I went.

Enjoyed being out in the sunshine so much decided to go to Babbacombe Pier, arrived to see people slaying them on feathers.  Set up a Dexter and got 8 in about 3/4 hour got fed up of catching them, enough for the BBQ tomorrow and a few for bait in the freezer.
