Well decided to go last minute with my son got to the club to find about 9 other boats sat on the sand waiting for the tide so had a leisurely sort out of the boat as we were in no rush

got afloat and headed down to Kerton Rd just of Dungeness had lots of doggies and whiting and also managed a 9lb cod lost something that decided to snap 40lb braid i dont think it was a cod as it dived to the bottom and stayed there lol

lovely day sun came out to play the wind buggered off headed back in only thing that was a pain was getting the anchor stuck driving it out on the bouy was no fun lol

I am so gutted that I could not get out today. I had to work, but my boat is also being rewired as all the connections to the batteries were so badly corroded they need to be replaced. Even if I had been able to start it I could have been stuck out there when I wanted to come back in.
All the reports I have seen show absolutely perfect conditions out there and a good number of fish caught. Hopefully my turn will come soon. The boat should be ready to go again by Thursday so hope to be out in the next week or so.
