blueboatdriver Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Went to Southbourne rough with Tony on Marlyn. Anchored on a mark at about 10.00am and started instantly to get hammered by pout with a few small bream thrown in. Got fed up with Pout pretty quickly so decided to drift. Plenty of small bream until Tony managed to catch a 2 3/4lbs brill; nice surprise. I immediately got into another fish which I thought at first sight was another brill or turbot; over excited I think, It turned out to be a nice plaice. I managed another plaice, one was 1 3/4lbs the other was 1 1/2lbs. I had a nice pollack about 3 1/2lbs on my feathers which we had out just incase one of these elusive mackerel was passing. I then had a 2lbs 10oz bream which was a pleasant surprise as all the others were pretty small. Tony caught a red gurnard and we also had a number of wrasse. As Tony was planning on fishing on his own boat this evening we thought we'd have a go on the way in; not expecting too many. We were about halfway between the piers and they went crazy; we filled a bucket in about 5 or 6 minutes. Plenty of bait for the evening and some homers. I dropped Tony off on his boat at Salterns and headed on in. I then picked up the wife, two kids and my mum and dad and went up to Wareham quay for fish and chips and a couple of pints of Thatchers. A perfect end to a great day. Oh yeah and while I was on my first pint Tony rang to say he had just caught a 3lbs bass on Poole Patch (jammy git).
