Neal Posted August 30, 2011 Report Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) I had my mate Dave down from London for the day - so decided that with the large tides to have a little look around inshore to see what was about, particularly with next weeks open comp in mind. Missed the bridge at 8.30 - it didn't lift at all - so along with Dave and his crew on Wight Magic - searched for a Flounder! He got one - I didn't! - we caught Corkwing Wrasse. Stopped on some of the inshore rocky bits on the way down to Bournemouth and Boscombe Piers, spent most of the day drifting in and out between the Piers and caught a variety of bits and pieces... Tally for the day was..... Corkwing Wrasse Ballan Wrasse Baillons Wrasse Plaice Goby Black Bream Gilt Head Bream Trigger Fish Red Mullet Tub Gurnard Pouting Launce Mackerel Nothing big enough specimen wise - to tempt me to do the same next Sunday! - Maybe the triggers, if they had been plentiful - but I saw at least 6 boats targeting them earlier. Apart from the last two - all were caught within 400m of the shore - plus it kept us out of the wind Neal Edited August 30, 2011 by Neal Quote
niggle Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Posted August 30, 2011 Well done Neal,catching me up now Never ever caught a trigger but will try one day Quote
Graham Nash Posted August 30, 2011 Report Posted August 30, 2011 Red Mullet Neal and I thought I was special Quote
niggle Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Posted August 30, 2011 Graham you are special............but in a different way Quote
duncan Posted August 30, 2011 Report Posted August 30, 2011 Neal - what were you using for rigs and baits? Bits of worm on small hooks? great to see such a wide range of fish - and drifting around is so much more fun that anchoring up! Quote
seagypsy Posted August 30, 2011 Report Posted August 30, 2011 Good to see you monday Graham, the fishing in the harbour was poor for us too,good fun tying off to that channel marker on the way back in though. We had a nice day paddling around the wareham channel , passed through giggers island then sailed back with ebbing tide , , easy life nice pictures mate thanks, i think paul has some of you Ben Quote
Neal Posted August 31, 2011 Report Posted August 31, 2011 Duncan We used mostly 2 hook flowing traces with size 4 and size 6 hooks and a variety of different coloured beads (Dave did - regularly changing traces to see what colours worked best) I used the same trace pretty much all day until it got snagged in the pipes off the end of Bournemouth Pier. My trace included a couple of small flourescent beads above the hooks. Bait was small pieces of Ragworm - used about Quote
