A real treat happened in April 2010 when myself and the lads from the Woolston Trades & Labour Club were fishing a wreck in mid-channel for Pollack...a schoal of about 12
Bottlenose Dolphin joined us and started paying around the boat for ages...luckily I had my video camera with me and this little 4 minute video is the result...
The pic on the right shows Common Dolphin riding Tiger Lily's bow wave on a different day...
Catch this new Squid Fishing Video filmed during the second week in October 2009. It shows how the critters turn colour and squirt water and sometimes ink at you (great fun) Carefully handling the net is Black faced Bill White (Knocker) and the anglers catching the squid are Antony and Kevin.
Here is my quick recipe for cooking squid...
Melt some butter in a Wok or Frying Pan, add chopped Chilli's and crushed Garlic to taste, then add finely sliced Squid (two handfulls only as it will cool the butter too much) to the very hot butter and keep turning for about 2 minutes...the squid should look light brown in places. remove from the pan and place in a dish and add corriander and black pepper and squeeze lemon on top...enjoy
Just For Bob is a film in which I have put some of my favourite clips over the last few years...it shows action from one of the Conger Comps together with skippers Brown and Stantiford as well as my old mate Bob Sawyer who sad to say is no longer with us. Dirty Dereck with his 'chumming machine' and even me cooking up scallops and Chirizio for Shrek, Colin Laker and his chums after a hard day's Plaice fishing. Good music too....
Tiger Lily's Video Collection
Here is a list of all the short movies in the collection just click to view. They should all open in Deepsea's own dedicated viewer so you don't have to download complicated programmes to view them.
Delivery Day is a short film showing the transport of the new Tiger Lily Catamaran from Cowes IOW to Wareham in Dorset where she is being fitted out. Why not follow her progress?
Surf's Up on Chesil Beach It's February 11th 2007 and the beachcombers are out on Chesil Beach. There is a big ground sea running and with the wreck of the container ship 'Napoli' not far away, the locals are out looking for freebies!..check out the surf in this short clip.
July 2008 this time and having just had Chilli Con Carne for supper aboard Lily, Ben (Padawan) Boutin from La Rochelle in France and I decided on a spot of Bass fishing in the late evening sunshine. After a little tuition from the your's truly I was demoted to the video camera whilst Ben knocked out 13 lovely Bass one after the other using a variety of baits on his 12ft pole. Not bad for his first visit to the Island.
The clip shows just how to do it in a little over 2 minutes start to finish...poetry.
If you want to see what happened when Weymouth Angling Centre owner, Andy Selby, invited a couple of novice ex workmates down for a day's Conger Fishing aboard Tiger Lily, then this is the place.
Plenty of Bass coming aboard Lily on this day off Godnor at Portland. John and Bill star amongst others, showing how easy it is when the fish are biting...
Amazing Video You won't believe this... watch this only if you want to improve your catch rate! I've never seen anything like it before...you'll be gob-smacked.
This one will give you a taste of Wrecking aboard Tiger Lily. These sequences were shot on a glorious day when everything went to plan...Bass, Pollack and Conger were all feeding for Chris Mazey's Oxford based group.
This one is new... Turbot & Brill Fishing from the famous Schoal Bank situated between Alderney and Sark. Watch Byron Jones, Dick Dale, Ben Prosser and Gordon Richards get stuck in to the big flats! Here again, you will need a Broadband connection to view it.
It gets better...It's November 27th 2005. Jim O'Donnell has just given me some of the new Calcutta Shads to try out and I can tell you they work pretty good. Watch This... Bassing in the Portland Ebb Race Not a place to be in good weather and today it's blowing 4/5 North Westerly. The Bass are there but it's just a bit tricky to stand up, let alone with a video camera jammed in your eye...take a look.
Tiger Lily Slideshow of some of the best fish caught aboard Lily in the past year...broadband a must!
While I'm on the subject of amusing things, I must tell you that I spent a very enjoyable few days in the company of Trev Osborne (aka Shrek) and friends in early September. The weather was great and the boys had a great time fishing the reefs and banks around Portland.
Shrek goes Fishing sums up the crack the boys had and shows some of the many species they caught whilst fishing.
Talking of a good crack...a bunch of Suffolk Beach Anglers who are totally mental, made the trip across the Channel with me this year... their antics were captured on video of course...turn up your speakers to this one, its called
On a more recent trip out of Weymouth, Andy's boys were in fine form once again...Andy's video camera was thrust into my hands and I was told to shoot what came up... Not many fish were netted, well I can't do it all! This film is called
