Mark Posted September 27 Report Posted September 27 Got out today as planned…sea state was horrid so stuck inshore between the piers for a few hours after some squid. Took 8 and 3 cuttlefish…dropped 5 or 6. Hope the worms I bought last till Tuesday in the fridge. Only a couple of charters in the area but it looked like they went back into the harbour. Bumpy trip back to harbour but the 175 took it in her stride 😁 2006holmwood, Colin-58, Gummage and 4 others 7 Quote
Rob Posted September 28 Report Posted September 28 Popped out with Adam on Kodiak. Got plenty of live baits on the patch, then off to the Purbecks for bass.They didn't play ball. The weak tide and strong winds meant drifts were strange or non-existant. At one point we were being thrown about on Peveril and did about 100m in 10 mins! And that was towards the shore!!I squeaked one out before we headed back to a very quiet harbour. Condor was leaving on our arrival, we waited and let is pass. Only to be talked to by the HM rep on a jetski about not fishing the main channel. I think the HMs visit to the club when there was a hint of turning a blind eye if not causing any issues was not flet by this water based Nazi. He then called his mates on us who turned up in the big pilot boat. They conceded we were impacting no one and tbh, we hadn't had a touch so we advised we'd be off.Would have loved to have hooked a good bass with them as an audience. Typical day, live well rammed and returning the majority at the end of the session.R Jim, 2006holmwood, Gummage and 2 others 2 3 Quote
Mark Posted September 28 Author Report Posted September 28 Think I saw you just up from the chain ferry slip…I did wonder what that jet ski was with the Christmas lights going 😂 I got a speeding board reminder from the pilot boat going up through the harbour…was doing 10.8knt.

Maverick Martin Posted September 28 Report Posted September 28 I bet the pilot boat was doing more than the speed limit and even if he wasn’t speeding his wash would have nearly been as bad as my boat at 10 knots through the water Mark, Jim and Gummage 3 Quote
Gummage Posted September 28 Report Posted September 28 How fast an we go on Wednesday (1st oct)? Quote
Jim Posted September 29 Report Posted September 29 Just after the visit at our meeting saying they "turned a blind eye" using their discretion we got moved on by "Dad's Army" whilst fishing in the channel right away from anyone around the far side of Brownsea. Us, Greg & them were the only boats in view. Not sure who we were obstructing. gaffa 1 Quote

Well to be honest Jim, you were restricting our view of Brownsea slightly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Jim, Kingfisher 126, 2006holmwood and 1 other 1 3 Quote
Jim Posted September 30 Report Posted September 30 I wasn't restricting it Greg. It was my Belly doing the restricting. 🤣 Greg 1 Quote

All other areas the speeds limits ie quiet areas 6knots other areas 10knots including from Brownsea bell bouy to 1400 metres south of the ferry Gummage, Greg and 2006holmwood 3 Quote
