Very nice Alan.......couple of lovely fish there mate...... Do I need to get my old redgills out and dusted off before I come over next month?.......:???::???:

 

[alan aubert]

Yes I reckon so they seem to be working well for us at present

 

[bob jameson]

Nice going Alan , we got out a bit later in the day !! ended up with 7 bass to around 3lb + so not a bad session all taken on the Rudra & Tideminnow 200 ..
So some like it soft and some like it Hard !

 

[trev richardson]

Bob....you don't mean you like it hard do you.....:shock::shock:

Never confused........:muttley::muttley:

 

[alan aubert]

Nice going Bob were you down on the S/E

Lovely dark back on that 5lb'er !! Wouldnt want to have been out with you in those conditions though . . . i'd have been laying a chum trail over the side !!!

 

[bob jameson]

We were Alan , was hard going with that wind blowing , trying to set the drift was a nightmare at times , we even dropped the anchor for a while and tried softies for some wrasse , but the wind kept swinging the boat round to much .

 

[Tim Griffin]

Lovely fish that 5.5lber. Braver than me going out in a F4-5 in small boat! F3 is usually our limit but then I guess we were always fishing a long way offshore (3 miles+) and I assume you are fishig inshore?

 

[alan aubert]

yes in long gulleys hence we get some shelter but it is a nightmare as Bob said to get the drift right

 

[tony]

Hi Alan

Thought i Saw you and Derek out there now confirmed with Derek`s hat, i kept more inshore on the kayak due to the wind will give a wave next time .

[Dicky Smith]

Interesting way to rig red gills, thanks for that.

I see your BRP badge has fallen off your engine, same as mine did!

 

[Gary A]

Well done Alan. Much too rough out there for me!

 

[bob jameson]

Well done Alan. Much too rough out there for me!

He who dares Rodders he who dares , but yes it was not very comfortable at times , moving all the time for a bit of shelter .

 

[Stephen Olsen]

New to this forum so - hi guys
Just had a week in jersey kayaking and generally getting blown around. Had a nice bass saturday on a berkeley power worm on the high almost on top of Icho- just chucked out and left, not a lot else you can do in that wind. Had a 4lber on a Mr twister Exude dart earlier in the week. Don't know of anyone else using this lure but have had a few bass on them now.

 

[Gary A]

Hi Mark. Glad you enjoyed your visit.

Had a good weekend Sunday being the best day 4 fish to 7lb. And it was very breezy.

Two fish this morning on a patchinko my first on the top this year, only thing is the lure was almost as big as the fish.
