点评:Fishing for big species, I'd never been on an 8hr boat trip. And boy was it hot! But a 19lb Smooth Hound made sure there were no complaints from me! I also had congers around 6lb a piece, and 2 small dog fish. I think everyone caught at least one smooth hound. 6 of us (I think), 12 rods in all and we all caught. And the big smooth hound I caught gave me the most amazing battle I'd ever experienced, a fish aggressively stripping away so much line - the runs, when they bolt; I've never felt such defiance from a 19lb fish! It's determined to win the battle! Sreaming reel, 31lb mainline, cluth tightened as much as I dared, and the line just peels off. And I loved it! When I hook any fish, both course & sea; if it makes the drag scream, I can't help laughing throughout the battle, that heavenly screeching reel drag! A true natural high. So, a memorable boat trip for me. A fully joyful experience. I am DEFINITELY going back soon as I can book next.
The skipper, Kelly, was funny, very helpful and helped keep spirits high.
As far as the general vibe on the bait? All lovely lads, zero arguments and a very hot day! Admittedly, a lad's day out, though I'm sure they can comfortably cater for those fisher-ladies out there.
Nothing is guaranteed, but these guys know the region and take you straight to the hot spot. Kelly was the skipper on the day. Good bloke, wants you to catch! In fact, a trace he gave me helped catch the smoothound. The skippers of the Channel Explorer will make sure you have the best chance of catching fish. And the 8 hours went surprisingly fast!
翻译:钓大鱼,我以前从没出海钓过八个小时。天哪,真是热得要命!不过,一条19磅重的星鲨让我一点儿也不觉得累!我还钓到了每条大约6磅重的康吉鳗,以及两条小狗鲨。我想每个人都至少钓到了一条星鲨。我们六个人(我猜是),一共十二根鱼竿,全都钓到了鱼。我钓到的那条大星鲨,跟我搏斗了一场我经历过的最精彩的搏斗,它拼命地拉扯着鱼线——那种冲刺的劲儿,我从未见过一条19磅重的鱼这么顽强!它一心想要赢得这场战斗!鱼线轮尖叫,31磅的主线,我把离合器拉到我能承受的最大程度,鱼线还是不停地飞速滑出。我太喜欢这种感觉了!无论钓到什么鱼,无论是淡水鱼还是海鱼,只要鱼线轮发出尖叫声,我都会忍不住在搏斗过程中一直笑个不停,那美妙的尖叫声简直让人欲罢不能!真是纯粹的快感。对我来说,这是一次难忘的乘船之旅,一次无比愉快的体验。我肯定会尽快预订下次的行程。
船长凯利风趣幽默,乐于助人,让大家始终保持高昂的兴致。
至于船上的整体氛围?都是些可爱的小伙子,没有发生任何争执,而且那天天气非常炎热!诚然,这更像是一次男士专属的垂钓之旅,但我相信他们也能很好地满足女士们的需求。
虽然不能保证一定能钓到鱼,但这些家伙熟悉这片海域,会带你直奔最佳钓点。凯利是当天的船长,他是个好人,真心希望你能钓到鱼!事实上,他给我的钓组就帮我钓到了一条星鲨。海峡探索者号的船长们会确保你拥有最大的钓鱼机会。而且,8个小时过得飞快!
