DommyBoy Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Decided on a trip out of Mudeford with my Mum as crew. What a crackin day with flat calm seas and no wind. Got to north X-RAY about 9am after waiting at the slip for about 20 mins as the queue was building rapid. Clipped up to the bouy and rigged up 2 rods each, the light rods set up for bream/other smallish fish, and the heavier rod set up for whole live macky's. Got the feathers out and first drop-5 macky's for the bait well-an hour later, still only 5 macky's for the bait well, where the hell have they got to? Stick on a live 10" macky and cast this 15yds off the back of the boat and leave it in the rod holder on freespool until something happens-an hour later after catchin loadsa bream to 2.8lb on my little rod the big rod bounces around and then the freespool kicks in and the fish screams about 10 yards of braid off the spool before i could get the rod out of the holder......hit into it and after a heaavy dogged scrap, another Thorny of just under 13lb graces the deck of Gnasher. Got the glove on and held it down to get the hook out, unfortunately my finger ends up in its mouth-like a bloody vice these jaws..couldnt get my finger out for sh1t for about 10 seconds until it eventually pops out with the glove still in its jaws. After a few pics on mums camera, its put back to live another day. First drop with the feathers and another string of 5 for the well. Back down with a lives. After about 2 hours of banging out endless bream(one of which stabs its fin into hand and it snaps off in my skin-have now got a poxy bream splinter) and LSDs one of which wraps my arm and a stray pout, the macky rod once again leaps into action whilst im bringing in a better bream on my small rod...hit into what i thoight was another thorny until i loose it. Reeling in a smashed up macky i near the back of the boat when a bull huss of about 10lb follows my macky right up to the surface where it the hits the bream i have on my little rod. My half munched macky was still dangling off the back of the boat and suddenly a Tope smashes into it 10' off the boat.....which broke my 40lb trace in a second. Over the next hour me and mum both get smashed up twice each so an upgrade in trace sees mum land the first of a few pack tope between us the smallest of them all bites me in the leg. Notheing big only up to low-mid doubles but lost a biggy which i just couldnt stop and it broke me up on 80lb trace afetr about 20 seconds. All in all a crackin day but got bitten by a tope, a thorny, wrapped by a doggy, and stabbed by a bream. I loved every bit of it tho. All the best, Dom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaicemat Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 I think you need to find a safer hobby. If I was your Mum, I'd be very worried about you! But, a good day's fishing. Terry B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Great sport Dom but a little on the dangerous side Do you book in with A&E before you go fishing or take your mum along to patch you up. By my reckoning you finished with a few good fish and also a bitten Thumb a spiked hand a tope bite and the dreaded LSD rash A few lessons to be learnt I think Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
