alun j. Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Had hoped to get out onto the Ledge today.............. Terry B. phoned earlier in the week having seen a 'weather window' for today........... by yesterday all forecasts had changed and gales were in prospect.............. so zoomed off from work to dig some rag before dark......... to allow fallback into harbour and a few flatties possibly??? An early start this morning was unbelievably beautiful.......... flat calm and clear; was it worth risking a trip out??........ all forecasts were even more pessimistic; I didn't want to run home after an hour.............. so harbour it was........ ............... and what a good call............ ....up the Wareham channel on the flooding tide............. and straight into a bass or three before Terry got a bait in the water !! A steady stream of bass of all sizes............ float, bottom or baited spoon , all caught............... in between battling the ravenous hordes of crabs. Great sport on extra light tackle.............. 3 1/2 lb. bass able to show their mettle. Seven good size bass to share, several returned, one badly net-damaged but recovering and a few thin and out of condition fish [ surprising at this time of year]. Only one flounder.......... but a good one. Then the snotty weather kicks in..........ebbing tide, foamy surface and waves and no more fish. Thanks Terry for a good day out on your super boat.........I think you might be going back for that sport ..... on another day soon?? Cheers, Alun.

great white Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Nice report Glad to se someone got out. I have your catch report, is Terry sending one as I had ne report of the flounder? Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaicemat Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Alun is being generous when he says we shared 7 fish; actually, he caught six and I had one. He also had the flounder, a nice fish about 2lbs. I did also have a couple of smaller ones that went straight back. I also believe, and I'm sure Alun will back me on this, that I had the lions share of the crabs! This was a new style of fishing for me and I learnt a lot. Next time my contribution will hopefully be more equal. Be assued that by then I will have appropriate gear for the job. I came down with heavier kit for a day on the ocean blue. That's the trouble with travelling, I can't bring everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun j. Posted November 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Hi Charlie, Only just weighed the flounder......... typical size for the harbour..........and just the one. But I have added to catch report............... if this weather continues [ and there seems no break in the stream of 'lows' forming in the Atlantic] , there will be very few November fish in your book ! Get out when you can !! Cheers, Alun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaicemat Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Now I can see where you're going wrong. You actually have to launch the boat and leave the land to go sea fishing! Go get 'em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
