Update for Lee Chapel Sunday league 3rd Feb 2008 and Indain Ocean Trolling and Hand Lining February 2008
With My Pearl Wedding Anniversary on the 4th February and Olly’s Wife’s' (Wendy) 50th Birthday on the 31st January we had long planned a vacation to Meedupparu Island in Raa Attoll within the Maldives with our respective Spouses we were always going to missing from the February Sunday's League Match.
Thanks to my Pairs Partner Gray Somerfeild we were kept up to date on what happen and we both realised that both the Single and pairs competition would is very close as a result of the February match - but did not relalise until I returned and worked it out - It looked like a tough day with only 8 of the 12 anglers weighing in.

The result &
Latest Positions:
Tight isn't it - Going down the wire with all the key rostrum positions up for Grabs - For Our part in the Pairs myself and Gary have to score 80 points if Olly and Rob finish 1st & 2nd in March.
Now then whilst that was going on myself and Olly and the Women went hand lining (evening Fishing) aboard a Dhoni- Olly caught a few good Jacks of around 4-5lb, but unfortunately his daughters (Samantha) Camera Picture Card failed and lost the pictures. - I only succeeded it catching the Bottom - See here - Greater Spotted Stone Fish: You can also see the size of the Hooks we were using a bit big.
It did have one resident a tiny red fish about the size of one of Mick Byrnes points scoring 1/2 ounce Perch. Just the coral was his home and did not realise it was a mobile one.
The air was blue on many occasions as the only thing I continue to catch was my head on the Lifebelt Rack in the roof of the Dhoni.
Olly & I got up really early for a spot of morning fishing (0500) which in fact was trolling for Yellow Fin Tuna and any other exotic game Fish that happened along using a 80lb Mono hand Line with a Pink Muppet just on / below the surface some 200 yards behind the Dhoni. This for 4 hours on what proved to be the calmest day of our vacation.

Nothing but a tug for me Olly drew a blank also, but thanks to Olly’s good long sighted Vision we headed over and joined a Pod of 20 Dolphins for 5 minutes before they got bored and headed off on their own business. No photos as I was Videoing - Check back for footage if \I can get into a format for use here.
I was determined to catch an Indian Ocean Fish, so myself and Olly went out again fro another Evening session on what was a blowy night. I managed to get a Grouper & a Jack - Olly got an elusive Yellow Fin Tuna see Pics.
Well if you believe that then you will believe anything - Yes I did catch the jack of Around 4lb - gave a good fight and awkward on hand line. But the big Grouper and Tuna where being off loaded on the jetty when we returned - Couldn’t resist telling everyone what we had caught - but we did come clean in the end.
