Gnasher Posted November 21, 2004 Report Posted November 21, 2004 Hey guys As my proper boat is out of action, desperate measures have to be taken so i have decided to take out my 12ft bath tub on tuesday. As it is a very small boat i have decided to try and take it out off lymington and drift inshore around the marshes near the IOW ferry. Does anyone know what i am likley to catch if anything? and best rigs/ bait to use etc? im just after some bites. If anyone knows anywhere else local to me that might be better that is safe for a small boat to fish from then please let me know. Thanks Dan Quote
Paul J Posted November 21, 2004 Report Posted November 21, 2004 Christchurch Harbour is a good venue, A bit slow this time of year though Quote
Bob F Posted November 21, 2004 Report Posted November 21, 2004 What about some flounder fishing in Poole Harbour? One of the best places in the country at this time of year. BF Quote
Gnasher Posted November 21, 2004 Author Report Posted November 21, 2004 Ok, might try poole harbour. I never been there before so is the slip easy to find? Quote
Sinbad Posted November 22, 2004 Report Posted November 22, 2004 Dan Some good safe advice being given - for a 12ft dinghy, although the forecast looks pretty good - light winds is the main thing to avoid being rolled arround by the surf. In Poole, could try hamworthy park slipway/ lake road (its free - park in the gravel area above the watermark! ) , as its a short steam or row, much closer to the wareham channel end than baiter park - fish at the top of the channel or where the channel forks into rockley park (tie up to the posts) - but the putty is oozy and deep, so dont expect to go too far from the marked posts. As far as the Christchurch area goes, I think you've picked the right place to moor. I keep my boat there, and you are only 20 minutes from decent fishing all along the ledge, or inshore reefs, or going further out (2-6 miles) to some of the wrecks marked on the charts. However, all that said, no description of where to fish ever beats being shown by someone in the know ! Good luck Sinbad Quote
Sinbad Posted November 22, 2004 Report Posted November 22, 2004 Also..... Hythe Marina ? easy / sheltered slip - downside is the parking charge ( Quote
