blue mink

has any one fished it lately ment to be of on next sun

i have never been on it boss but i'm sure someone from here has, if you get nothing PM Birdy as he seems to know Andy ( the skipper )

not sure phill i did the bull nose monday morning 02.30 till 05.30 with nothing to show but ive not seen many
boats out in the bay so i think its the same out there, what gets me about blue mink is its a gamble and he wouldent
say anything about the fishin state just take your money and if you catch nothing youve had a trip round the bay
on a boat i would check with him on whats been comin in £35.00 is a bit to pay out for a few hours

What information are you seeking?

wat he hass been fishin for and whats been caght thanks wek to day cant wait

What a load of rubbish Jazzman talks about Blue Mink.

Andy the skipper always tries his best

I was out with him yesterday and between the 7 of us we caught well over 300 dabs, 5 takable cod, dogfish, whiting

Where does the £35 trip come from.

He charges £228 for the boat for an 8 hour trip; £28.50 each which I don't thnk is bad

I think the mods should check the facts before postings of this nature

ANDY I WILL BE BACK FISHING WITH YOU AGAIN

Andy has been a life long friend of mine and I'm not going to slag the chap off. However, in Rons defence he is probably referring to the rate Andy charges for weekemd trips, which are more expensive than the midweek trips. I calculate your figure per head amounts to 8 anglers. The same number on board at the weekend would be about the figure mentioned by Ron. A number of forum members had been on the boat and suffered poor catches. Unfortunatly, anglers must learn to understand the seasonal effect of fishing on a month by month and tidal effect basis.
Case in point is your trip. Very few Cod would have been captured because the tide was very small, the resultant tidal flow doesn't encourage Cod to feed. Same conditions a week before, on the bigger tides, were producing over 20 Cod a boat, on the small boats fished by two anglers on the Fylde coast. If your trip had gone out purely on the context of Cod fishing your views would have been tainted.
Understand tides and seasons and enjoy productive fishing, ignore them at your peril.

hi dickyp
The post i left was just my experience and i wasn't telling the guy not to go but the trips i went on there where three other guys
from the forum that where on board and it was a w/end which is a little more expensive the member was asking about a sunday trip.
So if you went tomorrow on board for another trip and came in with nothing would you post that on the forum. and im not knocking andy
no one knows this coast better than him he is an excellent skipper with years of experience and a good log book but he can't always
guarantee a take home catch every time. We will never know how the poster got on as he never came back with how the trip went
