Good effort Dave, fished that day in my Predator 165 very icy start. I put a post up on FB in Solent Boat Fishing live seems not a lot was caught only a few small target fish and there must have been 30 boats fishing Gilkicker to Brambles. So you had 4 baits out and during the day it could have been 120 out all looking for the Cod. Anyway always look forward to your vids whatever the catch tally.👍
Always a pleasure watching your channel mate. I know I don't comment a lot, but I'm always watching. and sharing. happy New Year to you and good luck for 2025.👍
Nice one Dave looks very tasty. We were out the same day. Came back as you were going out. Very brave mate in an open top boat. Next time for the Cod mate.
@@SharkSmithAngling them cod a bastards 😆 the Solent is pretty safe in my boat at night . I wouldn’t want to be round the back of the island, mind you … I have thought about it a few times 😆
@ I wasn’t on about the safeness of the boat it was the cold I meant. Warriors are bulletproof mate. I’ve had 6 of them still love them. We were round the back on a Arvor 250as with a heater. Cheating 😂😂😂
I remember moaning at my dad about not catching as a kid and his reply 'Son that's why its called fishing and not catching'. Each poor session always makes me think of this 🙂. Always next time and enjoyed the cook
Great video Dave. Shows the real world of fishing! Sometimes they’re just not feeding, or not even there! Do you reckon the very high pressure had an impact?
Although it might not have been what you were hoping for it was still an entertaining one Dave. I was tempted to say you’re a bit of a light weight though 😂😂🥶🎣🐟
@@kevinbuckler1085 haha it was absolutely freezing out there that night .. I usually have hand warmers in my pocket that do the trick but forgot them this time 🫣
Nice vid ,shame you didn’t get much might have something to do with the seven trawlers I saw going up and down between Ryde and Bembridge from the cat a couple of weeks back 😢
Leaving the bait to defrost in water surely washes away some of the scent? I normally just defrost it a few hours before I leave or semi defrost holding it in my gloves 😅 but the water thing never tried because of what I previously said but might try it
@@Angrypostman1977 haha no it won’t wash the scent out on squid … the mackerel are in sealed bag so they’re good to . It’s great way to get the bait usable when you get to your mark 👍🏻
Top video mate. I swear I could smell those prawns through me phone 🤣🤣
😂 haha thanks Dave , yeah they had a beautiful aroma 🤤
I am glad it isn't just me that has Dogfish days 😂 Fantastic video as always! 😄
@@murrayjones7261 haha they wouldn’t usually be aired on TH-cam but times can get tough this time of year 😆👍🏻 thanks Murray

Nice nosh Dave. Shame about the fishing! 😆🥶

@@martynwright3398 Thank you Martin….I think the big change in temperature was the problem …

Think you aught to get yourself a cabin heater too 🥶
@@kevinbuckler1085 haha it was absolutely freezing out there that night .. I usually have hand warmers in my pocket that do the trick but forgot them this time 🫣
@ To be fair I don’t think they would have made much difference 😂😂🥶
Nice bait presentation mate pukka 👍🛟
@@stevehele1077 thanks steve .. bait presentation is very important especially in clearer waters 👍🏻
Nice vid ,shame you didn’t get much might have something to do with the seven trawlers I saw going up and down between Ryde and Bembridge from the cat a couple of weeks back 😢
@@PaulFowles-s1jthank you Paul … they are all scallop boats mate I think . We’re find the fish next time 👍🏻
I stand corrected, keep up the good work and we’ll see you out there, when it warms up of course.cheers 👍
I was out in day time Friday bud no bloody cod again, had a descent bass saved my session though.
Not my target but a lovely fish at end of the day🤙
It’s a crap time of year but it can only get better 👍🏻👍🏻
