West End

Quick shoot out wide with Tiimmbo to have a dive and pull our pots saw us pack a rod each 'just in case' glad we did!! First thing we shot out to one of our lumps with me not having much success and Timbo getting sh!t bricked by an unseen monster. We decided to have a quick dive and pull the pots calling by West End on the way, place was packed tighter than a.. well best left unsaid probably but it was packed.

Had a ball getting stuck into the Salmon and good to see a mass catch n release happening out there with everyone hooking up. Day soured a bit when one of the pots succumbed to light fingers, no prop chop checked the bottom thoroughly but that's the risk I suppose.

Cheers for the comments, and yeah its is a shame about the pot and number '2' for our cray season out there. Shouldn't bitch really its been covered extensively in other posts and that's the roll of the dice for metro. All that aside Tiimmbo and myself had a ball on the salmon and I am guessing land based guys will be onto it shortly, might dust off the 9footer myself and get down to peasholm this evening

Not many crays about

Not many crays about Tim. Was only diving in about 10m and saw 2 that were pretty nicely tucked back under their ledges. Pot was empty - though we are pretty sure it had been pulled as wasn't in the hole we left it. Last dive we dropped in smack in a very tight spot that it wasnt in when we went back. No chance it could have found it's own way out either.

Only got the one Tim and 2

Mon, 2010-04-12 18:55

Only got the one Tim and 2 were spotted in super deep. Not the spot we wanted to dive but did in case the pot was lost on the reef. Tiimmbo being the perfect gentleman let me take the solitary cray with me, consolation for the lost pot... good fella

good to see there in numbers(not the boats ha.ha)

 my young bloke is hanging out to go catch a couple on his light rod, will be good fun for him and i will try to get a video of it as he struggles.

well done boys,

shame about the pot, there is some real wankers around with no respect for anyone or anything and they need to get there fingers chopped off!
