Jim Posted September 8, 2019 Report Posted September 8, 2019 One TINY spotted to Me on Madness. Terry had a good Tope 30lb+ We all hooked stuff and got bitten off. Had a few very small congers. Terry had 2 of the smallest Mackerel I've ever seen. What a gorgeous day to be out. Thanks again Martin. Terry your home made pasties heated up in the Dutch ? oven were superb. Thanks for a fantastic day out. Jim Greg, gaffa and Leicester Fisheagle 3 Quote
Leicester Fisheagle Posted September 8, 2019 Report Posted September 8, 2019 Fisheagle tried a few well trusted ray marks. We had some fresh mackerel and given the tide and weather conditions, we were quietly confident. We caught every thing but rays. It was only our last mark that came up with a single solitary undulate of 10 lbs. to me. Good fun was had with largish tope and we were all bitten off. As the tide turned, we went onto another bank. Several bags of chum later, we had more small Conger, Tope and a few other fish. We then started to hit decent bream on the Ray rigs. We probably had over a dozen between 2 and 3 lbs. The best one of 3 lbs. 12ozs. going to Mike. A bonus bull Huss, which I needed for the Individual Species Comp. completed what turned out to be a day of contrasts. A lovely day to be out with good company and a weather forecast that was almost correct. Mike Hall, Jim, gaffa and 2 others 5 Quote
Stuie Posted September 8, 2019 Report Posted September 8, 2019 Kept Looby 4 company off Old Harry and then a second mark further East - this was where I managed a couple of smalleyed rays - biggest 5lb 2oz. We had plenty of other species - dogs, straps a nice tope to Glen and a cuttlefish for me too, A lovely day out. Leicester Fisheagle, gaffa, jerry.shutter and 1 other 4 Quote

That's not what you been calling me all day 😂 It was a wonderful day out again on Fisheagle thanks to Alan my species count is climbing and a visiting friend who has come to down from the north to do some fishing down south had a great day sharing knowledge and banter and catching a few nice bream and red Gurnard thrown in for good measure so a good day had by all Jim, gaffa, Leicester Fisheagle and 1 other 4 Quote
Steve S Posted September 8, 2019 Report Posted September 8, 2019 Tigerfish, no Rays. A late start, Diane doesn't do early!Tried a new offshore mark, lost a tope and that was it. Went over to my banker blond ray bank and it let me down. Failed to catch any fresh mackerel either so fished with frozen the whole time which didn't fill me with confidence. Sounds like I should have fished inshore. Jim and Leicester Fisheagle 2 Quote
jerry.shutter Posted September 9, 2019 Author Report Posted September 9, 2019 Loobie 1V had a wonderful day like everyone else.! The fishing was slow, mackerel, straps, Bream, Brill, Tope,, lsd, and 3 blondes best 12lbs 8oz. Andy had the first fish on the boat and great company, really good turnout of boats and anglers, shame more rays hadn’t heard about it. Doombar to finish the day with the Madness crew, perfect.

James Lockyer Posted September 9, 2019 Report Posted September 9, 2019 Hi, It was good to chat to you in the marina, we weren't in the comp but we had a reasonable day. I caught my first red mullet, too many small bream and we had a few bass. One was a fair size caught on a live pout. See you again soon Jim Jim 1 Quote
Greg Posted September 9, 2019 Report Posted September 9, 2019 Marlin had a quiet day watchin Rob and his guests catching all of the Rays on Solan just 15 meters from us !!! However, I did eventually get to land 3 Rays in the end, a spotted ray 2lb 5ozs, and two small Eyed Rays, one 5lb and one 7lb10ozs. Also, an unusual catch that came up in the mouth of half a mackerel bait - a Sea Horse !! Now I am sure that is not on the Year species list?????? Steve S, jerry.shutter, gaffa and 7 others 10 Quote

Steve S Posted September 9, 2019 Report Posted September 9, 2019 The sea horse sounds like a legit catch, guess it was rather hungry... Jim 1 Quote
Jim Posted September 9, 2019 Report Posted September 9, 2019 Sounds as though we all enjoyed our day out. Shame the Rays were a bit scarce but still a good day. Jim Quote
Greg Posted September 9, 2019 Report Posted September 9, 2019 Steve Personally, I would have thought it would have preferred Horse Mackerel !!!!!!!!!!! gaffa and Stuie 1 1 Quote
