Having not fished a species comp for over three years it was frustrating how out of touch I was today with my fishing. Also, it was hard going as the wind picked up a lot more than forecasted. We could not catch Mackerel for love nor money which was both frustrating and quite disturbing, also, disappointing not to have any Rays on board too. However, one bonus of the day was having Mike on board to get some good tips on bait and rig preparations and he helped out greatly with the crewing. Thanks Mike for all your help (especially getting drenched by the rain on the last pull of the hook !!!!).

 

Cheers mate.

I had tope, bass, mackerel, plaice, gurnard, dogfish, undulate ray, Bream 8 species.  I’ll let Adrian post his results.

Firstly a very big thank you to Martin, a very enjoyable day good company, coffee good fishing, I and learnt a lot, particularly impressed at the end of the day with Martin berthing Madness without using the helm. Oh yes and there was some fishing earlier, I had two big bight offs, not sure if they were makos or porbeagles heavily disguised as tope, however started well with mackerel in the harbour and managed some plaice and and an lsd and then it fell away, so a total of 3. Great fun  I want to do it again next week 😀

Apologies I am away struggling to catch trout on Wimbleball.

I hope the crew will put a report in, but in short Jerry had 10 species, Stuie had 8 species and the biggest fish (Tope 30lbs) and Dave Wilson had 10 species also, if all other boats could post there catch reports results will follow.

Nice day with a slightly inaccurate weather forecast.

[Maverick Martin]

Oops I forgot 1, the smallest  bream I have ever caught in the harbour up the wytch

[Leicester Fisheagle]

I caught 20 species on Fisheagle. Bit disappointed that no Mackeral and only one Ray. Weather really didn't play ball in the afternoon. Have tried to put up a few species for the Annual 2022 Individual Species Comp. but being told I cannot access. Boat Section is OK. Anyone else having problems.
