Dire

[Paul D]

Fished in the bay today, Tried Southbourne Rough, some mark near Hengistbury and then over on Christchurch Ledge.

 

Wind was making it a lumpy day but nice once anchored and sheltered from the wind.

 

Seriously got close to blanking but managed one small Pout to avoid the blank.

Matthew ( nephew ) managed a single dogfish.

 

Going to try for some flatties tomorrow.

At least the lad had a fish...... and two on the boat.......I see you are putting in the hours for the year long species already !!

Hope you get a bit of sport tomorrow for you and the lad....

"Sport tomorrow" = blank

 

We tried to have a go for a plaice but I guess drifting amongst the nets was not such a good idea.

Was well windy, saw Gastronaught out around the head.

Still we had a good day out and I got my boat really well cleaned

 

Off to watch Bournemouth now.....

[alun j.]

Yep !!......... had a hours in the beams.....rather than with the breams !!

 

It was too windy to venture out mid-Ledge........ so tucked into Pout Hole for a couple of hours............ aptly named , with flubbers on most drops ... but did get a pollack about 2 - 8.... big enough for dinner tonight for the two of us !!

 

Moved in closer when the tide changed....... but absolutely dead here.

 

I was just leaving when Paul turned up.....and home for lunch in the garden, where it was much warmer.

 

The sea was surprisingly murky [considering it's been pretty flat and small tides] and still cold .....at close to 8C

 

Alun.
