Paul J Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Went out of Christchurch about 10am with Des (my brother in law and new member) as crew Plan was to drift along southbourne for plaice and see if the beach replenishment was still having positive effects on the fishing. Wind was blowing nw 4 and the tide was fairly slack but we still had some good swells to bash through on the Ledge and it proved too lumpy to stop at xray. We made it inshore off the beach at southbourne and spent the day drfiting on the wind. It was fairly pleasant with the sun on our faces bobbing along but there was too little tide to give us a good drift pattern and consequently we blanked. Went over to the ledge for the start of the Flood but it was like a rollercoaster so we surfed in. Fun to be out but no fish-- try again next week PJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 We also managed to get out christchurch at 9.30am and headed for the bream marks, lost a lot of tackle and only caught a spotty dog. It was well lumpy further out but we stuck it out until 2.30pm when the wind veered round to south west and it was time to call it a day. Stopped on the way back close in but blanked there completely, still nice to be out again getting a sun tan. Gordon H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
