What a boat and what a nice guy. If I ever manage to get out on a boat sea fishing again I hope it's with him or someone as good. Cheers as always Graeme. Top top stuff. I know he's busy building and camping but please get Mike out jigging and drop shotting for the biggest of all fish if you can :) Best Regards as always.
top boat and top skipper, tommo had us on the fish all day, cant wait to get out on her again, trust me boys iam localish, bristol, if your further a feild its well worth the trip,
Trampster sounds like a lot of fuel but you have to remember that these guys who run their boats commercially can claim all the Vat & road duty back on petrol taking it down to around 35p per ltr. This means that this boat running at 30knots is using around £35 petrol per hour. This equates to just over £1 per nautical mile. 20 n mile trip for 20 quid.......pretty good in my book
I clicked thinking you had splashed for a new boat. Wondering if you were feeling OK? Then I realised this is the TA fishing channel and while the high sea drifter still floats she's plenty good enough!
Wow, how things have changed. I remember back in the 60s we used to go out on a boat from Newhaven called Silver Mist. The owner then bought a catamaran called Lisa James and the other boat anglers thought the owner was mad. He proved them wrong as it was so fast and stable. We didn't have such luxuries as rod holders, we held our own, fishing with 2lbs of weight in 16 fathoms, it was hard work to reel in.
In the '80s I used to go with 6 or 7 other guys on a monthly charter trip from Newhaven. There was no comfy cabin on the boat to warm up in, but the skipper kept us safe and could always find fish: cod, plaice, conger, ling, doggies, whatever. Kinda scruffy old school stuff. :-) I loved the old 'greasy spoon' cafe round the back of the tackle shop. Best cholesterol-boosting breakfast ever! Oh, and those tides! I can remember dropping 4lbs of lead on a 20lb line over the side and it would never touch the bottom... Happy days!
I like the sound of that Graeme! You wouldn't believe how much I look forward to your films being uploaded. Some of your best films have been with Thommo. Nice to see he's doing well enough to justify an upgrade in hardware!
100+litres an hour? wow....watchet is the closest harbour/ slipway to me but hopefully my little drifter will be down at minehead later this year so we might be able to see the lorna doone through our spyglass.... all aboard the skylark.... ohhh arrrr

The mame of the boat Lorna Doone where is that name from,its a beauty have some good fishing on it .Music is sweet on the videos enjoyed last nights so much with you and Micks wife was it yous where so cool.
Lorna Doone is the name of a romantic novel from the mid-1800s, set on Exmoor and based on historical figures of (I think) the 17th Century. It was one of the books we had to 'do' in school back in the 60s. Actually, it's quite a good read.

If I won the lottery I would move to warmer climes...I drive my family mad by writing down 6 sets of numbers then telling them how much I have saved when they don't come up ??

@@TheMerlin672 No I recently sold my boat a warrior 175 among many more during my fishing life, but it became too much effort beach launching due to advancing years.
