Notbad 1. All at sea

All at sea,

After the beach this morning I went back home for the boat, departure delayed by a soft looking trailer tyre ( only pumped it up yesterday) so on went spare and launched by mid day for a three and half hour session across High



Any body on here aboard Supreme today?
















I was hoping for a Smoothie today, armed with 10 crabs and some raw langoustine ( costs the same as crab!)



No smoothies for me, but had about a dozen flatties







Single handed today, many thanks to the crew at PSC for help with the launch, recovery and thanks also to Fairziff who helped me manoeuvre Notbad 1 into her bed tonight, I'm sure ready for sleep!

Well done Paul

The Scottish langoustines were raw and frozen, I de-clawed them and tried tail only and whole.
I had equal numbers of live crab and langoustine and fished them alternately on one rod throughout, the only bite I had on the langoustine was late on when bait supplies were getting low and I had a bit of the flesh on with a crab leg or two, so I can't say they were any kind of success.  
On the other rod I fished lug throughout and this caught most of the flatties.

No idea whether it's a recognised bait to be honest but as the smoothies like crustaceans I thought there was a chance, nothing ventured, nothing gained!

I didn't realise that langoustine is actually scampi   
Every day a school day   
Another name for it is the Dublin Bay Prawn.
