Early morning raid this morning saw us depart the Royal Quays while most of the world still slept. Lovely weather and spirits were high - the first real trip of the year Turn out the fish were biting with a nice codling on the first drop! Stayed inshore today and were rewarded with a box...

August was pretty much written off for everyone it seems - Team Slinky were no exception in this regard. It had been 7 weeks since we last met up to actually go fishing. With the forecast being close to perfect the decision was made get back to basics and meet up pre-dawn at RQ. Up and out and...

Norman aka SKM Moulds has just started making these bad boys. Sand eel jig head that will fit variable sized jig hooks (we all know one batch of 6/0s is never the same as another batch) The hook clamp in the middle also serves to give a concave finish to the back of the lead head. Engineered...

Late posting this report but Norm and I are trying keep this community going as best we can in spite of life being busy etc etc Apologies for delay! Another leisurely start saw us past the piers just after 9am again...forecast had been iffy in the days leading up to the weekend but it turned...

Whoaaah Black Betty! See you at the RQ next season Graham 👍

The problem is the way we all use the internet these days I think. A lot of folks are able to snap a pic and post to Facebook quicker than it takes to write a report in the ‘old skool’ style. That said, Tapatalk is quite good because it hosts the pics and lets you insert them easily enough...

Haven’t done a report in quite a while because A) we haven’t really done a huge amount of fishing of late since last season kinda died a death before it even started and B) when we have fished, it hasn’t been anything much to shout about. So in lieu of the time out on the water we have lavished...

We’ve both been lazy’ish for weeks with either ‘other things’ or very casual starts...and the last time we did go out (couple of weekends) ago it was beyond ordinary and not remotely worth talking about! 😀 In reference to the casual starts - it’s a double edged sword...yes you come back with...

Another leisurely start yesterday sees us meet at RQ at 0600 right at the top of the (huge) tide. No messing this week, straight to the hard ground...as there’s virtually nothing on the wrecks yet. Yet again, the weather gods have been kind to the weekend angler and we were met with a slight...
