A personal best Blonde

The odds that the sea will stay calm, and the sun will be out are usually stacked against planning a day at sea in search of a fish or two, but as luck would have it we all had a great day out on Top Cat over the weekend.....

Eight of the gang met for breakfast on Weymouth quay then headed out with captain Ivan in search of Blonde Rays, after anchoring Shaun said "it will be about 15 mins before we get any bites...." so I hung on till then, and Ivan netted a personal best Ray for me 24lbs, Not bad for a first!

Good job they made me ware a lucky hat......

We had a few more Rays, moved and we all caught Conger and Bull huss. (all fish released so far)

Mike had one, and wiped everyone out....

To round off the day Ivan took us somewhere for an early Cod, which certainly made John G happy, Ivan said something about a cheshire cat....... and something else about my lucky hat!

The pirks of the trade....

A claim to fame I have even made it on to the Top Cat web site, check it out......
