Hi all

Im a regular beach fisherman but have recently aquired a boat

first time for me on the water.

this forum seems really friendly and informative so i thought id register.

anyway catch report for today

went out to southbourne directly in front of lift about 1 mile out,

only had one set of feathers [which my mate was using]

so he had about 12 maccys on a carp rod

i had nothing

anyway that carried on till we seemed to have drifted out about another mile.

we then decided to move mainly because we were in a flotilla of yachts,

but secondly cos i was blanking

anyway we headed back to hengistbury head groyne ,bout half mile south went quiet for a while then my mate was into the maccys again{on anchor?}

then it was my turn

a treble shot of maccy[on my sons tele float rod]3 pound bass 5 bream only to a pound and half 10 doggies between us.

what an amazing day .

oh btw sorry to gastronaught for coming to close when u were anchored [aluminium open deck]

like i say mate first time ,i did slow down and sort of nod over my apologies

 

bream and bass went back alive btw

No Problem !! That wasn't close; one of those sail powered things came within a table length a bit later..... further out.........as it was 'pants' close in yesterday.

 

Next step...........join the club........and pick up loads of tips.

 

Alun.

Welcome to the Forum-

 

brilliant mate- thats what is all about! You seemed to bag up! If you try dropping a worm bait near the groyne you will also get loads of Wrass, and if you drift past the groyne about 100 yards off twitching feathers you will also get some small pollock! It seems like you were to busy catching anyway, but something to bear in mind for the future incase the bream and doggies arnt playing ball.

 

Download a form, join the club and then you will get more advice and help from other club members than you can shake a stick at

Andy,

 

Glad to see you had an enjoyable day. Good to see you find this forum useful and I can recommend joining the club for the cameraderie, tips and safety aspects.

 

BTW: Did you launch out of Christchurch ?

I assume you mean down Argyle Road.

 

One of the advantages of having a smaller boat
