Welcome back Mark.

Solo fishing on a weekday is the best isn't i? You have all the water to yourself. Looks like you picked up a good feed.

[Guest bluecod]

Sounds like a top session Mark, except for the electrical problem - if you don't have a fuse on the starter circuit see if your starter motor has a fusible link that has blown [last bit of wire leading to the positive terminal at the starter solenoid]

bluecod maybe i didnt expain it well it wasnt an electical problem thank god but my crank battery just died for some reason wat i meant was luckly i have an electic motor so i flicked the switch to use that for starting & sounder & pump then all electics worked again i woul he been stuffed if didnt have a second battery

& yes guys solo mid week sessions rule pity idont get hem often enough

Lucky you had the leccy battery otherwise a good day could have turned out quite the opposite.

Well done.

Someone buy that man a full stop!!!

Great stuff there Mark - some good tucker. Top looking lizards. Can't beat a mid week sesh.

Well done, that's a rewarding afternoons fishing. Love midweek fishing when I get the chance, particularly in summer, as there is a significant difference in the amount of boats churning up the water. Sort of lets the fish’s nerves calm down.
