Phanover confirmed for the 19th....

We only have 5 confirmed so far. If Dan decides to go that will make are 6. Will I go ahead and book??

Book away Bob...

In the words of the wise and mighty Pete! book away!

ok guys booked for the Sunday 19th @ 9am sharp...

Pete/Jd to either of you have a cheque book??? They don't take credit card and need the deposit of 100 squid...

Also, do any of you guys need to hire gear?? She just said to make sure a few have own rods. I have no boat fishing rods/reels whatsoever so I will be hiring.

I certainly do not need to hire gear. If I thought there was any money in it I would start hiring my own.....! Dont have a cheque book I'm afraid so cant help there.

Are we going to just do our own thing or will we have a friendly comp?

friendly comp I suppose.....

If you have loads of gear bring some for me :)

Jd any chance you have a cheque book?

Just put a cover note with it saying Charter booked for 19th November by Bobby Matharu.

When we are sorting out the full payment for the boat we each give you a 5er or whatever the extra amount you pay is.

Thanks again.

Bobby

I sent the deposit off. Hope we have good look with the weather now.


Below are two birds. Study them closely......... See if you can spot which of the two is the
female. It can be done. Even by one with limited bird watching skills.

Hi guys, If i can offer my 2 pence worth.
If the weather is ok, and Mark heads for the coalie wreck, its a 35 mile trip out !!, so I reckon you would be better trying to get going at 8am instead of 9. and take your sea sick pills !!
If you are fishing for the coalies, use a 8-9' trace of 50lb mono to a long boom, and a 5" storm wide eye shad. when you drop all the way to the bottom, put the reel in gear and wind up about 20 turns reasonably fast, then drop again, keep doing this till the skipper tells you the wreck is coming up on the sounder (this is how to pick up a cod or two.)
As soon as the wreck comes up on the sounder start reeling as fast as you can, and don't stop till you are 100 turns from the bottom (always count them) if there are coalies there you will hit them, well actually they will hit you !! lol and hang on.
If you need any more information feel free to holler.
Tight Lines, and enjoy the trip

Thanks for the info Dave, a few of us however are heading out from Loop Head in Clare the day before and then travelling on to Cork so I reckon an 8am start would be pushing it a bit TBH. Good tips by the way, appreciated. Is there a particular preference for one colour or do most work?

I really hope the weather gods smile on us for this one as I dont think there is a harder pulling fish than a decent Black Jack.... :D

I firmly believe that the preference for colours are really down to the angler, and most colours work, the retrieve speed seemes to be more important than the colour, the only definate exception ,imho, is a bright orange lure for cod and pollack.
A 5" storm shad with a bit of blue in the back seems to be a good option, although I was on Marks boat when the old coalie record was broken, and that was on a jelltex sandeel (orange), and i had 3 speciman coalies from 22 to 24.5lb, each on a diff colour shad!
The mustad Jumbo Hokkis work great for the Ling, and you should get away with 10 oz of lead for the shadding.
If you are on one of the closer in wrecks you will catch the Pollack on the shads as well, just slow down on the retrieve, and only come up a max of 40-50 turns.

so who do we have??
