Kirsty 111 and merit 1 left douglas harbour at 10am this morning ,both heading south to the ling and cod marks .the pool for the day however was for Pollock which we will get to later .The sea was calm and although a bit nippy it was good to be back out on the waves .There was a 10metre tide today which meant that drifting over marks was going to be swift and numerous .As expected nothing much showed here other than a couple of small pollock .
MERIT 1 HEADING SOUTH WITH ANCHOR.



Merit 1 had the idea of putting the anchor down to try and stay on the mark,what they forgot to do was tie the anchor rope off and as they put the anchor yanker on and threw it over the side no one realised that the rope and anchor dissappeared into the depths of the irish sea.I was aked not to put this on here very politely ,but i am not that kind of person so on here it is .

we moved from this mark into Castletown bay onto a black bream mark where our efforts to catch one did not materialise,although we all caught a coalfish and Micheal caught a bollan wrasse.We moved slightly away from here onto our pollock mark and although we were catching them none of them were of any great size with our largest only weighing in at 3lb .7ozs ,and was caught by Woodys new kayak partner Cam Sayle .Merit 1 fishing virtually along side us caught the largest pollock of the day which weighed in at 4lb.9.5ozs and so took the all the money on the day .

On our way back to douglas we both stopped at another cod mark and merit1 had little success here and each of us on kirsty111 managed to get a cod each with Skip Micheal getting the largest weighing in at 3lb.5.5ozs (cod and curry sauce for him tommorrow ).It was a had days fishing in that fish were hard to come by ,but at least we were able to enjoy a good day out.Not many pictures i,m afraid but enough to temp your taste buds .
Micheal did however tried to claim a £1 back from me saying his cod was larger than my pollock ,however the private pool of the day was pollock and this turned into a draw as we both landed fish of 49cms ,so pool drawn and i remain £2 up ,(unlucky Micheal).

Woodys new Kayak Buddy!!!

Not a good day for me today, I have been morally battered, I have been given an official banning from Juan Cleggs boat ( Got "THE" phone call half an hour ago), and now for some reason I have forced my self to stand inside the closet?????

its great to hear you lot are doing plenty of fishing,and by the sounds of things not doing to badly for the time of year..am hoping to to get my tub into the salty depths soon and join in the fun,its just a tad cold yet tho....the night fishing sounds like fun......

Its not cold when you are enjoying yourself,(sorry suffering like we do ),but some one has to be out there wetting a line .
The night fishing is only for the hardcore anglers ,some are frightend of the dark espeacially if they can,t ANCHOR up .

nice clean coddo's them laaaaaa's

Fishing in the dark just daft Espeacially for some gold fish. My pet pirahanas used to be bigger than the stuff u been catching.

hay cam, your always welcome om kirsty 111, I think it a bit shit when you have probably showed the boys on cleggs boat how to catch fish
we have fished castletown bay for years its not just " juan cleggs mark" what would he say if we fished next to him mannin week might just do that to leak hin off

I know you are still laughing from sunday

Go on Micheal for gods sake don,t hold back ,you now know that you will have to fish at least one day of Mannin week now just to P*ss him off.
some times certain things have to be rammed up peoples arses just to bring them to heel .

This post will not be moderated Gazz

Is Merit 1 gonna fish mannin week? I ain't gotta a boat sorted yet, need a crew, hint hint

If all else fails the JET SKI will be down there just to shove it up some one .

the JET SKI is the dogs bollox

Gazza

might not fish just do donuts round juan's boat all day

Nice one ,but just as good to win a bit of cash too ,although you don't need it .

did leeky lee let the rope go or did someone tell him to let the rope go? think we need the hole truth and nothing but the truth

Will the boys fess up then

I've booked the week off work for the Manin angling festival so merit 1 should be there unless the gods say otherwise. So I can't see why cam cant jump onboard , it all depends on normal crew. At the moment it only skipper taking part. So boat empty. We could have the best team ever put together- Jamie , cam and myself.

Leeky Lee ( first mate) was in charge of anchor duties and when he went to tie it off he was struggling with the speed off the tide. Rather than shouting to say he was struggling and to to tie it off midship he just struggled until the rope was no more. Ooohps!!!! Accidents happen

Just call me maverick. I love doing flyby's at 20 knots.

sh-t happens put pool money towards some rope

What pool money. We only won £10. Fiver of Jamie and a fiver off cam. I paid ur cash only to win it back
Lol.

you must be in profit then as i put Micheal's money in aswel

Jamie316,

ps;when do you want the rest of this money Gazz .

as all i know i have not paid anyone
