alun j. Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Ho Ho Ho !!........... I did put up an invitation to join me, perhaps Friday's wind and rain put you off?? Well you missed a nice day!! After a leisurely start [ knackering week at work!], met up with Adam and { Press Man} Gordon on the slip at Baiter preparing OOTB for her first dip in Poole water..... Adam itching to go and put her through her paces and check all the new toys .........What a fine looking package for fishing and being comfortable! [ Can't wait for an invitation!!] The wind wasn't too bad this morning..... and being in the West , there was a bit of shelter by the Castle..... but I carried on to try the Swash. There was one charter [ Strongbow} there already, drifting across the channel [ but no smiley faces on board] . A couple of fruitless drifts and then up pops the Warrior in 'Stealth - mode' ........she's as quiet as mine!!...A quick photo session exposes my camera [ or operator!] not up to Press standards; so 'Flash' Gordon jumps ship to deploy his superior equipment for a few passing runs. I did offer a fishing sojorn......but no, he was off........ and I was back to deploying my worms. In the next hour , over the second HW, I managed several small bass , a plump flounder of 1 lb. 11 oz ....AND..... a plaice of 2 lb. 8 oz. !! a pb for me from the Swash! The wind gradually got up from fresh to strong but it wasn't cold ...and..the sun stayed out making it feel like Spring. Alun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaicemat Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 (edited) Nice plaice Alun, well called. I wonder if they're on the Shambles yet. A bit early, I know, but you probably thought that about the Swash. What sort of condition was it in? Terry.

alun j. Posted March 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Hi Terry, The condition....... that slips down well!! Yes.........I was surprised... good thick plaice. I took fillets off it , enough for 4 portions............and lovely texture / flavour. If the Swash was more reliable there'd be no need to travel to Weymouth / Portland! Are you planning a trip over Easter? I'm here the week before and away the week after! All the best, Alun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
