Sunday 4th Sep With Oberon

[Newboy]

Got to Poole Quay at 6:30am and saw 2 ways tied up on the quayside, with plenty of beer cans and an empty champ bottle plus lots of flags and deco, must have had a good night .

 

John informed us that sharks are off the menu as it would be too windy for sharking as the crashing waves would have disperse the snick all too quickly.

 

We decided to go bassing in freswater bay instead, the condition was bad, wind against tide and boat was going side to side, 2 people threw up enroute .

 

Nothing in the first mark and we moved 5 miles out and fished another mark, still nothing other than a few tope, fun on lightish gear. Mr bass decided to make an entrance not long after 2:00. No fast and furious but steady eddie. The largest was a shade under 10lb. We stayed out till nearly 6:00 way pass our time, he was happy to stay as long as the fish was feeding. We only came back because flashes of lightning were started to show. Top bloke.

 

Last drift of the day, a slight twitch on the rod, another twitch, and the line went slack.... wound it in and lost everything. Apparently Mr tope was very hungary ate my mackeral plus the weight.....

 

PS, John is quiting Poole after Nov, he's going back to Scotland for common skate.

Forgot to say we found cuttle fish a real problem today, they must have killed over half of our livebait, we reeled in the bait only to find it minus half their head or a big chuck missing from their backs. Even shads or storm eels fared no better, I lost 2 eels and 2 storm mackeral.
