Manic Moore Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 I crewed on Loyal Royal and 7.00am saw Mark and I cruising into the early fog heading for the shambles. Plan was a few live eels and have a go on the local wrecks and later anchor down off Lulworth somewhere for a few bream. We soon had a few eels, launce and even my first herring in the well (3 new species for me) and decided to continue drifting to see if we could pick up one or two plaice. After an hour and no plaice we decided that the hood would be a good start for pollock. The tide was on the point of turning so drifts were a little difficult but still had 3 or 4 small pollock to go back. We then decided to go bream hunting. On the way out towards Kimeridge we went over quite a large hole and decided to anchor up and give it a go. Mackeral were all over the place and soon had a box full for bait and a few for the BBQ. I think this could be a good spot when more summer species move in as we were hammered with doggies, we also had a Bull Huss each. We then got tired of the doggies and moved over to the mark we originally planned to move to and were soon into more doggies but Mark had a Ballan Wrasse and I had a Cookoo Wrasse and I then pulled in our only bream of the day at about 1.5lb (another 2 new species) Weather from about 11.00am was great, Mark was great company especially his story about a club member who had his VHF upside down and wondered why there was no traffic on 06 (90!), I didn't believe him but it was certainly funny. Fresh coffee and bacon sandwiches and a few beers at the pub ended a nice day out Regards and thanks for the invite Mark Topeless Moore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Hi Gordon Sounds like you had a busy Day We had a family day, with a good smattering of the smaller species including several small pollack 3 bream to about 1 1/2 lb plenty of Wrasse too many dogfish and the first few mackeral of the year. we tried a small wreck but apart from pout and a few more dogs no joy. More Bacon butties [so as mike said It had to be a good day.] and a nice days weather so a great fishing day even if no monsters were caught The Tope should arrive soon now that the mackeral are in Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
