Wishin Too fished most of Poole Bay Today

[niggle]

With a forecast improving for the afternoon Mike(lovesdoggiesnturbot) And two of my mates left mooring at eight and set off for the ledge.With no marks and my electronics not upgraded yet we went for looks good here.It wasn't ,just several dogs,Huss and some wrasse so with the wind holding us sideways to the tide I called a move(so I could play )

Dropped hook at Poole patch where we had just one bream more dogs,one mackerel and pout.

Wind was fine for a while then it got lumpy but worse no bites.....so we moved

Tried a drift by Brownsea Castle but wind was blowing us onto to the island so we moved

A drift for plaice further in the harbour and bingo Mike caught one within minutes,but after numerous drifts just a small bass so we moved

Drifted down the west of Brownsea just weed and Mike caught loads of limpet So we moved

We intended to go out to the patch again but it had kicked up quite a bit(xc was wrong)so a drift by Bournemouth Pier then anchored by Boscombe pier and only produced small dabs so we moved

Back to the Ledge and it looks good here?..just pout n dogs so we moved

Of to a mark of Mikes where he's had quite a few Turbot from the beach and guess what.................

he caught another one today,only small about 2lb that went straight back.

Left that mark at 6.55pm and boat washed and in our cars at 7.50

Long day,saw lots of club members,done a few miles,caught 12 species,drunk lots of tea,didn't use much fuel Not the best day for action/amount of bites but we made the best of what were awkward conditions..........and I got to give my boat some stick ...love it

Can't Wait To Get Some Proper Electronics,even sounder doesn't work!!

all that moving about must have been a real pain Nige

 

Glad you're enjoying her

Well done Nige .. you seemed to be doing the rounds .... weather kicked up a bit after you left the patch and you can read the rest in my report..

Wishin Too is a lovely looking boat mate ... glad you are enjoying her.

Hi Nigel

Heard the radio, sounds good, boat must be better

Went out of harbour and turned round as tide had beaten us to the flow

Hope you got the species numbers up for the new boat

Glad to see you enjoying the new boat, you don't seem to be using many smilies in your posts though? LOL

 

Hope my boat is still there when I go back to Falmouth next week
