Rob Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Not an early start but myself and friend Nick headed out of Poole at about 9. The harbour was a millpond and it was fairly flat outside. We headed to outside of the Spoil Ground and dropped the pick. Put out a call to any PBSBAC boats but silence!! Started off slow with a LSD each (only ones all day!). Then as the tide slowed it went mad for an hour. We had numerous Whiting on Maccy or squid. Some of the biggest ones went 2.5 lb+ and came on whole squid. Spoke to Foxy Fisher Too who had had a nice double figure cod and a few whiting also. The tide which I thought would easy around 14:00 never happened so we headed back with a few fish for dinner and returned many little'un's to grow bigger. Nice to see Reflections 2 on the way in to the quay. Good luck to the boats going out tomorrow. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great white Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 After finishing work at noon we popped out with Wendy to enjoy the sunny weather, I too could not raise anyone on the radio having decided to try a new inshore mark out of the tide. we were pleased to see a steady stream of fish in the middle of the tide and only needed 8oz lead We had dogs, pout, loads of whiting and another Dab, the only down side was that all fish were on the small side but they all went back to swim off. Will try a full day tomorrow further out Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaffa Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Gordon and Peter were waiting for me at the boat at 8.00am as organised and we were underway by about 8.30. Had a bit of a confrontation with the wake of the Brittany Ferries Ferry in the Harbour before I managed to get past her and everything settled down into a perfect run out to the mark on the spoils. Gordon and Peter were first into the fishing into what turned out to be a pretty strong tide. Peter was first in followed closely by the rest of us and we brought in a good selection of whiting over the day with many more returned. There were only around 4 LSD's all day none to me as I was using a paternoster setup to the running ledgers of the two divers. I had brought along a magic mix of groundbait and as soon as the dropper was down it immediately brought the fish onto the feed -I was really impressed with it and will definately make up some more. Downside was that I was having to use an additional 2lb weight on it at some stages in the tide and the loading damaged the spigot joint on my Fladen euogold 20lb -(buy 1 get one free rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Heidi and I have just enjoyed some of yesterdays Whiting for tea and they were excellent, thanks Pete for the trip out on Reflections 2. What a great day out on the water yesterday with weather that was almost like a summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Pete - good to see you out yesterday. We did fly around the harbour yesterday - got to make the most of the speed limit lift in the main channels! We we doing 29knots on the way in, you have to blow out the cobwebs occasionally Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
