Alex,
With short hair!!!!!

Good boat, with a excellent repuation. Keep me informed Please

 

[Alex Jordan]

Will do - get on really well with Noel and one of the best skippers I have been out with - the tea mug holders built into the rod rests are genius too!

 

[Ivan]

Alex - I am up for that if its before 13th March.

 

[Vidar Thomassen]

I too are up for this one.

 

[Mike Kennard]

I might be up for this too. I have a Saltiga Game desperate for some drag warming.....

 

[Andrew Walker]

Hi Alex, I would be keen on this. I usually get a couple of days out of Newhaven each year after cod and pollack, be great to sneak an extra one in. Happy with weekend or mid week.

 

[Alex Jordan]

Will stick you on the list Andrew

 

[Steve Lewis]

Andrew, Vidar, Don't forget 11th / 12th March is the Pike Bumble at Bosh and you both have your names down for that ! Sorry for Hijacking Alex

 

[Andrew Walker]

No worries Steve, my word is my bond (RIP Arthur Daley!), I am looking forward to the pike and so hopefully the dates wont clash with Alex's trip and if its mid week, everyones a winner!

 

[Alex Jordan]

No problem Stevey Boyo - will make sure I dodge those dates

Alex, my experience of pollacking in the English Channel makes me think that March is maybe a little early. April is considered the best for drifting lures over wrecks. It is for me without doubt the best fun when boat fishing in the UK. My best is 16lb out of Newhaven. Depending on the depth you may be able to go quite light with gear - 12-15 class boat gear will mean good sport even from sub 10lb fish. I can't commit as it would be a 500+ mile round trip but for those that haven't done this type of fishing, then I would highly recommend it - they go like trains!

 

[Izador]

Would Definitely be up for this one. Abroad working until the 10th but if it's after that then stick my name down for sure if you have space.
Cheers
