 |  We are having a little tournament over on AnglersAfloat, first to 20 species from 23 listed, no time limit. With this in mind, a quick evening session at Southbourne was called to get few in the bag. Mosty mini species but illustrates the varied fish life at present.
Launched at 19:00 into slight seas, wind blown chop and a SW wind of less than 10kn. Headed out to where KayakKarma’s Bass was caught (9 - 6 two weeks ago). Fished with 2 rods, one set-up for Bass with live bait rig and the other Mini Hokkai. Kicked off first cast with 2 Mackerel, one for the comp and the smaller for live bait.
Baited the Mini Hokkai with Squid and sat back, a few Bream bites but nothing forthcoming. Switched the live bait rig to Mackerel strip and species No.2, the proverbial Doggy, good, was worried about getting that species. 
The baited Mini Hokkai picked up another Mackerel, due to the Yak bouncing in the swell. Cast away from the Yak and more Bream bites, hooked into one, species No. 3 was well received, Tub Gurnard! 
Back on the Mini Hokkai with Mackerel strip and a small Bream, species No.4. This followed by another and more Doggy’s on both rods. 
The wind dropped out entirely by 21:00, the sea becoming oily flat, upped anchor and headed onto Hengistbury and Pout Hole, tide slack and near first HW. Conger trace on rod 2, baited with a whole Mackerel. Mini Hokkai did the business again with…a…Pout, species No.5, .....followed by more Pout.
Began packing up at 22:00 due to failing Headlight, oops, should have checked the batteries. Just sorted the Mini Hokkai and the Conger rod was away, line ripped off, line out alarm buzzing, waited for it to stop, struck into something. Gave plenty of welly to clear the bottom, then went slack. Dropped back down, and the rod thumped over again with another run, before going slack. Beginning to think it was a Cuttle or Squid. Rod went over again, this time I continued to wind and whatever it was, seemed to be hooked. Species No.6, a reasonable Bass, between 3 & 4lb, had swallowed the whole Mackerel but only lightly hooked on an 8/0, ....pig! Returned healthy and well fed!

This is where the evening began to go downhill! Arrived back at the beach with no headlight and little idea of the surf. Surf! Completely unexpected given the sea state. A lot worse than when I’d set off, only couldn’t see, until in it. The usual shoreline dump ensued, bits in the water, etc. Recovered the Yak, but the compass was gone, along with phone in Aquapac, which was ripped off the lanyard. Spotted the anchor and buoy in the surf, eventually got it back, along with Navlight (easy to spot!).
Rescued phone and compass from the beach early Wednesday morning, only the filleting knife lost, pride dented and reels needing a complete strip. A successful evening otherwise, 6 down, 14 to go. |

| Nasty June Day |
| Replies: 1
| I made a last minute call to head out today as I have not had JoJo out seriously fishing for some months.
I headed to Mudeford single handed meeting Les with Manatee enroute at the petrol station.
I had forgotten how much longer it takes to launch etc when on own!
The sea state was horrible, nasty swell and 9kn + of westerley wind.
I met up with Manatee looking for mackerell but there were failry patchy and a little thin on the ground (unless they are hiding in a new spot?). I managed half a dozen great bait sized Joeys and a couple of eaters and headed to the ledge.
First drift nothing so chnaged completely to an interesting feature on the chart - bang fish on - the bait runner went off! A nice plump nearly 4lb bass in the net! 
My first ever on a livey!
I found that using a drogue I could slow the drift slightly and keep the boat much straighter, just got to remember to bring it in before moving off!!!
Half a dozen drifts later with nothing more and I headed in, back in time for lunch and to before the rain.
Yesterday I plumbed in a permanent live bait pump through and exixting skin fitting and all seemed to work very well and in much neater than previous solution.
Cheers

| Yet another memorable day |
| Replies: 8

An early start to dash across the New Forest towards Langstone Harbour was nearly scuppered by the closure of the A31 on Friday morning.
I just made it in time to meet the members of the Met. Police for a days Tope fishing on Valkyrie - skippered by Glen Cairns.
We set off for an area south of the Isle of Wight that is not usually fished because of the strong tides. We had chosen that day because of the small tides and hoped that we could fish all day.
We struggled at first to catch any mackeral - but the few we managed were each quickly cut into two baits and as soon as the anchor was in, using 2lb of lead, we dropped our baits down the 260ft to hold bottom.
Within minutes rods were bent double as the Tope in a feeding frenzy attacked and devoured our baits. Fish ranging from 25lb to 45lb were brought to the surface one after another all day with often 3 or 4 hook-ups at a time.
Some of the bigger tope never even got anywhere near to the surface, snapping 80lb leaders - biting through 200lb mono traces like spaghetti.
On one occasion I had to pull in a fish that had more than one line wrapped around it - a task that burned every muscle in both arms and seemed to take hours to get the fish to the boat. that was with two of us winding together.
The second time it happened a 40lb fish was foul hooked and it took a good 45 minutes to get the fish to the boat - by this time the fingers on my left hand were all cramped up at funny angles and I could not lift my arms.
All the fish were returned to swim away - only a couple were brought aboard for a quick photo and then released.
Total - probably somewhere close to 80 Tope for the day - leaving a few extremely tired but very happy anglers.
Oh God - I've got to go out again Saturday..................

| Out on Tomcat yesterday. Best day fishing by far.
The weather was good, sea was flat as a pancake. No prob getting baits, bass and breams were playing balls.
In the end, we had (between 5 of us) 21 bass and 22 breams.
3 bass in bouble figures, 11lb 6, 11lb 4 and 10lb 2, half a dozen between 7-10, and a few small one thrown in.
Bream was up to 4lb, and most in the 2-3 range.

| went out wrecking yesterday mid channel from weymouth aboard a charter, i got 6 cod and 2 nice size pollack, the fishing died off a little in the afternoon when the drifts picked up to 3 knots. i caught all my fish on 4 inch orange storm shads which seemed to fish better than larger patterns/colour others used although oddly this changed to white shads towards the end of the trip.

| A lesson in bass fishing |
| Replies: 9
| I shall have to keep this brief as my computer keeps crashing.
Alun Jones asked if I would like to go out bass fishing on Gastronought.
Never having done any (proper) bass fishing before I leapt at the chance.
An early start saw us out of Mudeford at about 7.30.
Mackeral were hard to locate to start with but after a bit of searching we had a live bait tank with enough for our needs.
Final score Alun 5 (bass) Rich 1 (cuttlefish)
Despite not catching any bass I learnt a great deal about rigs, bait, techniques and how to set up a live bait tank.
Wind got up and we called it a day about 2 o clock.
How is it that we used the same bait, fished from the same side of the boat at the same time, had the same rigs (well they looked the same) and the score was 5 nil?
Great day out, thanks Alun

| Met up with Richi, Lozz, Speciman & Zzippy for an afternoons fun with Smooth Hounds. First on the water, made for the 'BP' buoy, scene of last years P.B. Loads of Yachts, the Solent busy as I've seen it. Mini Bream bites immediately on Squid and Rag, reserving hard back and single peeler crab collected from the shore for later. Richi paddled on out and buoyed close to the channel. Speciman & Zzippy appeared shortly afterward followed later by Lozz.
http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s175/ruffj/P5310384.jpg
An hour passed and the tide was running at full strength, Lozz on the VHF was in to number 1. Swapped buoys with Zzippy just as Speciman boated a good sized Hound. Foul hooked a mini Bream then used my one peeler. Instant hook-up on my only Hound of the session, rather uncharacteristically fought like a good Bass, instead of blasting down tide in the shallow water, approx. 3-4lb.
http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s175/ruffj/P5310388.jpg
Zzippy returned and picked up a further 2. The tide eased and we headed in, Lozz's final total was 8 fish in the 4-8lb range, all on peeler, the bait of the day, unlike last year when Rag or Squid did the business.
Zzippy's biggest one:

We'd all contacted fish, but none of the double figure fish like last year, hopefully the best is yet to come.  |

| Half-term trips |
| Replies: 0
| Had a very mixed bag of weather over the half term, which I took off as holiday as well.
Our first trip out was Thursday, when we fished several marks on the Slate Beds. Carol got us started with a beautiful male cookoo wrasse, with irridescent blue and orange colouration. George and I managed dogfish, and we all steadily caught a dozen or so black bream (all males!) to about 2lb, but no monsters between them. Big rods were deployed with larger baits, the best fish being a common smoothhound of 6lb 6oz.
On the Friday, we trundled along to the Solent, catching mackerel and pollack en route, where we spent the night in peace and quiet with 6,000 screaming seabirds. As evening fell, we had 7 school bass, one dogfish and one solitary starry smoothhound of 5lb 4oz.
Left next morning to fish a well known rocky mark with artificials, and 4" storm shads resulted in a few bites, with the best bass of 3lb 6oz. We then tried a small wreck, that seemed festooned with fish, but were probably pout, as none managed the artificials we offered on the drift. We then tried several marks at Southbourne Rough on the way back to Poole, after waving to a couple of club boats on the Ledge. We had a couple of jumbo pout to about a pound and a half, and 3 male bream of similar size, but the fish seemed thin on the ground - guess they have scattered now.
Finished the trip with a few mackerel by trolling artificials, and tried a brief attempt for plaice in Poole Harbour with no luck.
A very pleasant few days, no record breakers, but a great bit of fun.
Mike, Carol and George |
