bootlegger Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Myself and Dan left Parkstone Bay at 6.30am this morning, a quick run saw us at Ballards and fishing just before 7am. Caught the last of the flood and Dan got his PB for Bream within 20 minutes of fishing with the first of the day. A very nice 2 1/4 lb. Bites were steady and the fishfinder going off regularly, we followed up with a brace of undersized pollack the biggest being just over a pound and my by now obligatory wrasse. Dan then caught a very nice Garfish just under 2lb and I was now feeling left out with a 1lb mackeral to my name along with the Wrasse. Finally with the tide on the flood again I got a really cracking bite on my light spinning rod and 8lb line, result a 3lb Bream, which is my PB. We were well happy to catch let alone one half decent Bream let alone two. The resot of the day we were plagued by small pollack and eventually called it a day getting back to the moorings at 3pm. Very Happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bootlegger Posted May 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Yes it was, I've checked and a specimen weight is 1lb 4 oz, it's a fish I normally don't bother with so I didn't properley weigh it, just slung it in a bag quickly zeroed the scales etc. When I realised I rang Dan up to weigh it properly but he had filleted it and it was in his freezer. I did the same thing with a Dab I caught of the Skerries a couple of years back, it too was about 2lb mark, I caught it with a load of plaice and gave the fish to the resturant at the guest house we were staying, it was only when I got home I realised that it was only a couple of ounces under the then British rod caught record. Guess that should tell me something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
