Windy but quiet day

[Maverick Martin]

Saturday 27/03/21 Dean and I were up early doors .  Got to the boat at around 8:45am and were the only boat going out through the 9:30 bridge lift.  Pulled into Poole Quay opposite one of the Squeeker  factories to collect our bait.  Armed with worms and raw prawns off we set.

Went past a visiting super yacht called Elandess, Dean took a photo of our boat passing her

Headed outside the harbour and had a few drifts along the beaches with 1 plaice being the reward for our effort there.

Twas windy and cold so bacon and sausage sandwiches were made and consumed, this turned out to be the highlight of the day

Moved to fish the swash hoping for less wind and more action but weed was a problem here so yet another move to inside the harbour.  Our chosen mark was almost unfishable with so much weed being dragged out the harbour by the super strong ebb.  We decided to call it a day and head back to our berth through the 14:30 bridge lift, wash the boat down and home by 15:30

On our way out the guys that did gel repairs and polishing of Madness phoned saying they were at work on one of the Sunseeker boats and offered to take a few shots of Madness on the water which was really nice of them as it is really difficult getting shots of your own boat on the water. 

All in all an enjoyable 5 hours on the water after nearly 4 months of inactivity due to weather and boat out for annual repairs etc.  Looking forward to our next foray hopefully with a few more fish thrown in

Liked the report. Could be a photo of the month hidden in there.
