Maverick Martin Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 Hi All What a fantastic day for both weather and fish, I had an absolute ball. Dean didnt do to badly and Bob (Horne) brought up the rear on Maverick. We went West and fished just off of Dancing Ledge. I seemed to get of to a flying start with Bream, dogs, Wrasse and Gars making an appearance. I bagged close on 25 Bream with the best going 2lb 11 oz. Dean had a fair few Bream I'm not sure of the weight of his best one but no doubt he will let us know. Bob struggled on the Bream he was heard to mutter something about the wrong side of the boat and the wall dividing us but he managed a few Bream and an 11lb Undulate Ray on his flattie rod which put up a bit of a struggle in the tide. On a conservation note all our Bream Bar two went back. We shall have the two kept fish for tea tommorrow We also had a ring side seat as Whisky Bravo (Portland Helicopter) rescued an injured climber just east of dancing Ledge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Glad you had a good trip. You seemed to be busy all day. We only managed 4 Bream with a best of 2lb 5oz to me and 2lb to Daniel But as you saw I succumbed to the temptation of the deeper water and Tope fishing. With the complete lack of mackeral we used garfish for bait. Only had one but it was a cracker 45lb 8oz Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Sea Dean Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 yep great day although i think i cooked myself a little to much in the sun. The fishing was excellent and as mentioned I managed a fair bag of about 12-15 bream the best going 1lb 14 oz. Not huge fish but great fun. Bream give a real good account for themselves and its fantastis to see that blue streak dive for the bottom when released. roll on the next trip!!

Paul J Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 I didn't know that fishing was a spectator sport but this is whats it's been for me for the last two trips. Still Mark did better and i'm sure he will call in his in shortly. Still don't mind watching Maverick catch all the fish as we don't see it that often Bob, Your correct there definatley a right side of the boat!

Bob F Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Yea, me too, Kim. Hope he gets sunburned out there today. He out with James, trying to catch Tope. Looks like we might have the last laugh, though. He might not have won the Bram Comp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
