Adam F Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Well it wasnt just teachers that were on Strike today... so were the bass!! Exactly 1 year ago to the day 'The Dream Team' (Al, Me and Rob F) had a red letter day off the IOW on the bass with 17 fish in 3 hours to just under double figures - so why not keep the tradition and try again this year? The aim was 5 plump bass to feed the 70 odd people at the BBQ on Sat. Due to Rach being on a course I was left with Nursary duties which meant a late start and missing the early morning flood so we had ebb tide all day - not the best in my experiance. We tried the Bridge - nothing, several banks South of the Island.... nada... despite a tank of bristling micro joeys we couldnt buy even a take, and ended back drifting Poole entrance where Rob and Al managed 1 each... What a crap day. 60 litres of fuel and a whole day out for a bucket of macky and 2 schoolies. Goes to show even the best of us cant find them all the time!

Maverick Martin Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Now what are we going to eat at the Barbe FWIW I also had a crap day. Went to Makro to land a load of chicken, burgers sausages and Pork belly for the ribs and belly pork along with chocolate cake lime cheese cake and several other culinary delights but alas it was really hard going with hardly any stock jumping in the trolley. Still I am undeterred will return tomorrow for another drift through the aisles Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Plus the wind was much stronger than forecast, which lead to no sleep on the return journey for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djredrupp Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Ahh well that explains the facebook messages!! Still beats sitting in gridlock on the M25, then having the M1 shut on you! And for a similar amount of fuel!!!! Better luck next time! Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
