jack Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Andy and I left Poole,slid under the Bridge,and stopped at the steps for worm.Disaster,worms all gone by 9'oc.Had to make do with Squid,not too good for our planned activities. However the sea was beautifully calm,and the Sun shone upon us.We headed west,surprised at how few fishing boats were about.Anchored up and found the tide slacked off,so were fishing with 1 & 2 oz.leads.Then for the next 3Hrs we were forced to laze in our directors chairs in the sunshine as we peeled off layer after layer of clothing.Our reveries were interupted only by the need for pots of tea,pork pies; Pasties,and the need to unhook doggie after doggie. [over 30 in all ].My lighter rod baited with a 1/0 and a squid head kept indicating bites and was retrieved each time with the tentacles gone.I thought it might be crabs. Then as we were packing up ,My first rod whacked over and started to click away,leading to the landing of a very handsome thornback [returned with a smile on his face ]. then as I wound in my final bait,I was treated to a wonderful head shaking take,and landed a nice Black Bream,caught on a Squid Head hung on a 4/0 circle hook.I found this hook to have been ideal for the doggies as it cleanly hooked every one in the corner of the mouth where it was easily unhooked.The Bream went back to make lots more. In all nothing to shout about Fishwise,but a "Grand day out".looking foreward to lots more like it... jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Jack, I found that only the larger beam will take squid head, the smaller one doen't have the mouth. Try cutting the head into 2 halve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
