Jsplace Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Me and the other half decided we would spend New years eve out on the boat in Poole harbour, bottle of bubbly to see in the new year and the opportunity for 2 days of fishing fun! Left the marina at midday on Fri armed with Rag, Lug, Squid and mussels. Returned to the mooring at 4pm on sat and basically to cut a long story short, we blanked...... The missus had two tiny bites and I didn't even get a nibble Very VERY disheartened by it to be honest. Tried loads of marks, rigs and baits for the grand total of a few crabs. Spoke to a few others out who had all blanked too... I will not however say it was a wasted trip though, Proper clothing stayed off the cold and seeing the new year in in a flat calm harbour and seeing god knows how many Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codpiece Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 jason, Many people out there or where you the only ones? Clay pool at Xch used 40 plus years ago to be the place too see the fireworks for the Xch regata, Mudeford fishermen and those of us in the lifeboat with working boats used to form a large raft, Plenty to eat etc, some stayed moored up all night!!!! Fantastic memories of a different time, lots of them gone now, Derek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
