Paul D Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Fished the drop off today and had a 4 lb Bass after 10 minutes to mackeral strip . Then nothing but pout on mackeral and squid and worm. Then caught the odd mackeral before the tide slackened and all went quiet. Fished to the start of the ebb but the wind against tide was starting to roughen up the sea, so we headed back to Christchurch. Interestingly the charter boats on the radio were also noting how whiting were caught yesterday but were not making an appearance today. Oh well Whilst back in Christchurch harbour we heard a fishing boat was in trouble near Nab Tower ( taking on water ). Dreamcatcher who I suspect is Gary who posts on here ? I hope all was OK.

Coddy Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Good news I was not Gary from this news forum I hope it was someone getting there wires crossed and no one else was involved in any incident. Coddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted October 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Coddy, Glad to hear it was not Gary ( esp. as he has the same boat as me ). However, it was def. someone in trouble as there was another boat alongside apparently and helicopter + Bembridge lifeboat were called out. They said it was a 20 foot fishing boat called Dreamcatcher. I presume they were all OK as there is only news on the barge incident ( which occurred at the same time ).
