Afishionado Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I was refering to Old Harry, since he is the other side of the Needles (you told me that) and I wonder if there's a bridge there or not and if yes, does it hold any bass. Ah yes I understand now. Yes I'm sure there must be underwater chalk ledges and rock outcrops between the two points. About 20000 years ago I am told, Poole harbour was a heavily wooded valley holding a river that ran out to join the Western area of what we call the English Channel. Britain being connected to Europe, and the Eastern Channel on the other side of this land bridge was part of the greater Ruhr delta. The rising waters at the end of the last ice age eventualy broke through the low lying land joining the two parts of the English Channel also flooding through to make Poole Harbour. There are areas of the harbout where when bait digging one goes down to peatified branches and tree stumps. Mad Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swainiac Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 This was the subject of a Time Team dig, and despite being a bit of an "Anoraks" programme, being of local interest, I watched it, and learned a fair bit about the history of the Harbour. Basically, any boil manifesting itself on the sea surface, is a result of tide influence over strata beneathe the surface, either man made or natural, so its always worth investigation with a livebait.
