Fugazi Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Despite now living 200 miles away from Poole I still keep up to date with what's going on in the Forums. Having sold the Raider I'd been boat less since the end of last year but a month ago bought a small RIB to replace Fugazi. Don't have a name for it yet, but it's proving ideal for use here on fishing, diving and seal watching trips. The fuel economy from a 40hp EFI outboard on a light boat is amazing, provided I keep the revs at about 4000. So far Heidi and I have managed 4 fishing trips and just using feathers we've managed to catch Mackerel, Pollack, Wrasse, Launce & Tub Gurnard. Have not tried any sort of bait fishing as this tends to require some waiting around for bites which doesn't fit with Heidi's attention span. On Saturday I had a chat with a local spear fisherman has he came off the beach carrying a crate full of good size Bass and he's given me some marks to try next time, so watch this space.

great white Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Nice one Gordon Glad that you are back afloat and it sounds like there are plenty of fish to target Good to hear from you Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Nice one Gordon Bass Spines can also put holes in yer rubber duck but as a diver im sure youre well in your comfort zone. Cardigan island and the rocks near the hotel should hold Bass and pollack. Lots of seals around there who are partial to the odd salmon and seatrout. I caught my first ever Bass on a lure from Poppit sands PJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Nice to see you are enjoying life. I used to go on holidays to Cardigan Bay when I was a kid. Some beautiful scenery around there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Nice rubber Gordon! Hope your enjoying the "quiet life"! Can we tempt you down for the Open? Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Rob I'd love to fish the open, it all depends on how quickly our purchase of a buy to let property in Lower Parkstone goes through. If we complete before the 4th September I'll be down for a couple of weeks to do some renovation work, I'm sure I could arrange it around the date and persuade the FPO to let me take a day off.

I'm sure it was lovely during your childhood Paul, though no longer connected to Eire!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
