fritchy Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 We had a fantastic day out on the boat yesterday, and even caught a few fish. We started off by trolling around Hook Sands, but nothing happened. Then we went over to Christchurch Ledge, and then Southbourne (Thanks Alun), where we had a several wrasse, and a couple of makerel. Then back to poole patch, and more wrasse - I somehow managed to get two small wrasse on a single hook! I was cursing that I didn't have my camera with me. Then we headed out to the area south of Anvil Point to catch the period of slack tide around 5pm. When we got there, the tide was still running at about 3knts. I managed to hook the bottom on my first drop, and got had most of my braid out before we got the engine started and carefully headed back up tide so I only lost 35M or so, plus the tackle. Soon after we got a 17lb Tope...my first on this boat. We also got a couple more Makerel...and then a couple of dogfish on the last drop. All in all it was a great day out...very little breeze, comfortable temperature, Lovely flat sea.... And then the first flashes of lightning in the sky while we cleaned the boat, and home by midnight. Mike F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 i had a couple of hours in Christchurch harbour 6pm-9pm Wall to wall mullet with most of them going about 2 lbs, (i didn't have my scales or my camera) all caught on a spinner Plenty of checker bass to ragworm, but no biggies to the dozens of casts on a plug. Got back and in the car just as the first drop of rain came down-perfect! Paul J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
