Adam F Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Rach wanted a trip in the new boat today so a plan was hatched. However an early low tide meant a normal 6am for me, but early for Rach start to get out of the run before LW. We just made it, although the new channel is much better with at least 4' even 45 mins from dead low. Out on the 'hole' we were first on the mark - perfik! However in the freezing mist we heard engines getting closer and within 2 mins a boat from Keyhaven turned up bang on my numbers whilst I sorted out my anchor... We just got the hook in when Aquafresh zoomed in and settled in... Fishing was brisk to start with plenty of bites, but few bream.... a bag of chum increased bites and a flurry of small huss made a welcome change. Just before the ebb died the bream switched on with the best being a brace going 3lb 3oz - not massive but very welcome! As the flood started the sun came out - lovely! - but the fishign stayed slow, a smattering of mixed species kept us interested until we headed in at 2pm to stoke up the BBQ and enjoy the bream. A good trip in all and rach didnt feel sick once in 5 hours which is a record, and means she now wants to come more.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep Sea Dean Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 After reports of some good fishing on the Shambles even though we didnt do any good there on Friday me and the old man decided to give it another bash yesterday. Wish we hadn't bothered! Total catch one small plaice to dad, launce and maccy. By mid afternnon we decided to knock it on the head and tried a mark we had steamed over in the morning which looked interesting. It was absaloutly covered in Bream. We lost count how many we caught after 1/2 hour, but we must have managed 30 or so fish, if not more, in a couple of hours. All of the fish were in the 1-2lb mark and were coming up 2 at a time. In a bid to find a bigger fish or two we tried large squid, mackeral and launce baits but everything that went down was ripped apart within minutes. A good bit of sport to end the day with and a mark I think we will spend a bit more time on in the future. Spring is definately here!!

Deep Sea Dean Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Hi Duncan, We have only have the handheld on board at the moment as we are still waiting for the electrics ordered to arrive. That was running low on battery so had it turned off for most of the day. Certainly a good spot though. I've never had so many Bream in such a short time.
