alun j. Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 At last the weather's turned a bit more seasonal....and I'm down to just one fleece. Cracking day out on Stingray today.......... and Terry showed the way with the bream. After an interesting start to a day that blew up on Mon., with Markee_b on Espadon, I was keen to give the inshore stretch from Dancing Ledge to Seacombe/ Winspit another go in better weather. Thanks to Terry for obliging today........ and it was almost gorgeous...... peaceful and quiet apart from the screaming reels as another cracking bream tore off with the bait !! The best quality bream fishing we have both had !! Very few small fish and several over 3 lbs. Both of us managed pb. fish at , or just a shade over, 3 1/2. Definitely an area to come back to.....and to try to figure out those tides that have you pointing in different directions every hour or so ! Thanks again Terry........... really tired now !, Alun.

plaicemat Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 What a great day! Good company (and bringing lunch), Good weather (what's that?) comfortable sea and a seemingly continuous supply of bream. Broke my PB at least twice and my new technique seems to work well and I even managed to catch more than The Harvester (you know who I mean) . Unfortunately, I'll miss the 48hr comp (collect wife from Heathrow Saturday and her birthday on Sunday) but hope to make another trip after the bream before they thin out. Now, who's free next week?

markee_b Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Were you in the same spot we went to Alun ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun j. Posted June 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Mark, Similar area; but we did move about a bit. Found a spot , a bit further in and further west, with a little bank [ about 2 to 3 m.] a few boat lengths in size. Anchored on top and swung all around it in those funny tides there. 3 other boats were fishing the area but further out....... and didn't stay as long. Stopped at Ballard for an hour on return...... quieter, only one other boat. A few fish here , but not the calibre of those round the corners. Alun.
