mickburder Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Good morning guys, Looking at the competition results from yesterday it seems like there were a few bream caught, well done to all those taking part. I am planning to come down tomorrow, launch at Wick at about 10.30ish and have a day chasing fish around the bay. Were most of the bream caught yesterday on the Ledge or somewhere else? With the tide coming in all day is it best to start on Poole Patch and then move back to the ledge or visa versa, or doesn't it make any difference, or is there somewhere else that might give us a chance of catching tomorrow? If anyone has a specific coordinate where we would stand half a chance I would be most grateful. best regards Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 (edited) Hi Mick, We fished Dancing Ledge on Saturday, fishing was pretty constant until the tide got too strong to keep bottom, but nothing bigger than about 2lb. Quite a long way from your launch though. If you want as close to a guarantee of fish as possible - you probably can't do better than the Patch. Plenty of bream, mackerel and garfish there...

Graham Nash Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 We were on Poole Patch yesterday. Managed bream, smooth hound and obligatory doggie. Looks like the weather will be better Tuesday than it was on Sunday. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinbad Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I would try the ledge because of its variety - the patch is quite specific where you are and very rough in places, and the tide doesnt flow through there quite like the ledge. Also the ledge fishes flood and ebb. I would motor slowly across the ledge looking for where the depth drops off to 17m on the bournemouth side and try to fish a slope (ie the rocks) The bream will be amongst them, possibility of bass as well. You can also drift the deeper parts over the sand for the mackerel. Good Luck.. "give Poole small boats" a call on Ch6 and I'm sure someone will respond if they are out.

mickburder Posted May 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Gave poole patch a try for the first time yesterday, my pal caught one small bream in the first 5 mins we thought at last bream for tea! but then all we had was a steady stream of pout and small wrasse for a couple of hours. Moved off to Southbourne and drifted around for a while and caught plenty of Makerel, so something for the pot. Wind picked up at 3ish so headed back. Lovely day out on the water, still hoping to catch a bream before the summers out, maybe next time. regards Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
