An eventful Friday

[Bobby Buoy]

I’m told it never goes to plan when I’m on board! Well it did yesterday! We got the 7.30 bridge with perfect conditions although Jerrys forecast was showing it would be windy before midday so we stayed in Swanage bay to try for some rays. The tide was rising quite hard and not much was showing. As it slackened off a couple of strap conger and LSD, then a few rattles and a decent bream came up on a large hook. We changed down and caught a few bream for the table. The wind was now much less than expected so at slack water we ventured out slightly further to a bank in the hope of rays. The tide was now ebbing strongly and Jerry was first with a blonde. A hectic half hour followed with two more blondes and a tope each. My shoulder is aching today! It then went quiet and with a chop starting to pick up we decided to up anchor but the anchor had other ideas! It had set in very hard in the tide and would not trip despite some motoring around. After a battle it eventually came up and we headed back to the swash to try for some plaice. One for Jerry but nothing else showing so we called it a day. We spotted a kayaker really struggling trying to get past the chain ferry in the strong ebb so we threw him a line….he was mightily relieved and with some expert boat handling from captain we towed him back into the harbour…..catch and release I think they call it! 

Jerry has done so well with the cucumbers in his greenhouse this year that he’s having to find other uses for them and it turns out they make very good rig tidiers! 
thank you skipper!

Your welcome Rob, fun day, good banter with other club members out there and a few fish which always helps!!!

The kayaker certainly used up his 9 lives and had his luckiest pants ever on, your line throwing was spot on so a good joint effort. I hope the Turkish Bream was good!!!

I still cannot believe you used my cucumber for a rig winder!!!!!!!!!!!!, i cannot say my thoughts on a family forum

Jerry if you can use one of your cucumbers for a bandanna, surely Rob can use one for a Wig winder🤣😂🤣😂

As you say Rob what goes on tour stays on tour, all i can say is that Rob S definately was limping before the days fishing!
