Adam F Posted February 5, 2006 Report Posted February 5, 2006 Went out early this morning - 6.30am to ensure water on the bar at Mudeford - was OK, over 2' all the way out, but wouldnt have wanted to be much later. A flatish sea with a F3 NW decreasing, cold though -3c. A quick run out offshore and we settled in at the desired wreck. Sport came pretty quickly, with the Conger Kid - Gordon pulling up a bootlace first chuck, we then had another couple mid twenties before the tide began to slacken and we drifted of the mark. I then hooked a strangly fighting fish, which popped to the surface as a lovely marked 9lb 14oz Thornback - result! We re-anchored full of hope for the flood. Again sport was brisk and I soon hooked a good eel that went 39lb onboard.. At the same time Gordon played a fish, but it was only when shouts of - grab the net! filled the air I paied attention - a cracking 12lb winter pollock lie alongside the boat! What a result!!! The fishing continued into the afternoon, the wind dropped away and the sea became flat as a pancake - it was like a summers day. The fishing went dead after 2pm for no apparent reason, but we were chuffed having a dozen or so eels, and a decent pollock and ray to boot. Running back in we were surprised to see a huge swell pushing up over the ledge at Christchurch - possibly caused by an offshore breeze and high pressure, we wondered if we would clear the bar...... See my next post for what happened..... Quote
