blueboatdriver Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Fairly good days fishing on Two Ways. Between us we had; gurnard; tope; mackerel; bream; dogfish; a ray; bass. Tony and Jason each had a tope around the 20lbs mark and my bad luck continued with the tope; I managed to get two tope, each about the same size as the others, to the side of the boat. As soon as Jason leant over to grab them they managed to turn and both times the hook just dropped out; so I managed to watch ten points swim away. Jason managed a bass of 5lbs on his heavy gear; not bad. All in all an enjoyable day, even the weather turned out OK in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueboatdriver Posted June 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Earl Grey? never heard of the bloke Yeah Matt, I had two so close you could touch them. The next stage is getting them in the boat now I've sussed out how to get them on the hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 then it will be getting them back out the boat again when the hook is free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coddy Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 We on Sammy decided to try towards Bournmouth for the first time. Had a drift on Poole Patch and crewman Bill only had 2 mackeral one of which fell off and a pout! Went over to Boscombe pier and found Jimbob and again started drifting and was quickly into a bream, Bill also had bream, underlate ray. We then headed back to Poole but had a long drift in the Swash and Bill picked up a Bass which was just undersized. Last stop was at Brownsea castle but nothing there. Not a good day for fish numbers for us but at least we are starting to find the fish which is a start. Great day weather wise Well done to Jimbob on a great total Coddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
