munterhunter Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Just a quick one of teh weekend, fri eve struggled to find maccy, had a huge gar follow feathers up off durlston head, then went out and had a strap of 18lb off dancing ledge way, dusk was approaching so came into evens rock, jim had a 3lb strap, and a 9lb ray, usual doggies, pout, cuttles etc. Came into brownsea castle for 2nd HW to se if could get a bass, fished maccy strip tied onto last bouy near to bouy 44. First drop and my 6lb rod bends over, bass me thinks! and a heavy fish at that after 5 mins a 12lb strap pops his head up, then drop down again, and another strap of 8lb, nick loses a strap and so does jim, all in under hrs fishing then there gone. First harbour conger for me! Sat afternoon went out, couldnt find maccy, came into poole patch for bream at dusk, managed some smuts to 6lb and mix of doggies/pout etc Sun day, couldnt find any maccy, dropped anchor in swanage bay, had some spiders, bream, and smuts, put down 1/2 cuttle head and I had a 13 4 thorny, 1/2 later nick gets a 14 4 on the other 1/2 of cuttle head! so well chuffed!! defientely going back there for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 We must have passed you sometime Friday night as we ran in past Dancing ledge at dusk, from the Sky, over Evan's Rock and into the harbour.......... Were you on a buoy where the North and Main channels divide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great white Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Sounds like you had a busy weekend. I have never had a conger in the harbour of any size. The cuttle fish seemed to have done the job on the rays. I expect that you will be back there with more cuttle soon. I have logged the best fish from the competition results, but if you or anyone else has other fish to add to the book please let me know Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
