Manic Moore Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 (edited) Managed to sneak a day off and Will & I took Enticer out with a plan to try once again for bream but if the weather held then push out to one of the closer wrecks to see if we could find a specimen conger. Well the weather was not good (as predicted by the Met Office) and the fishing was not good. Tally was a couple of dogs and a pout for Will and a 3lb 9oz bream for me (Halve of which I and the FPO have just eaten ) A PB for me and it went like a train on my spinning rod Gordon Edited April 16, 2008 by Manic Moore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alun j. Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Well done Gordon on the best bream of the day.......and for 'scraping-in' over the Bar just after LW. With no demands from home [ FPO away!], I had no rush to get back in in shallow water........so we stayed an extra hour ... and got our best fish of the day. Rich pulled up a bream , smaller than yours, but a PB for him. I blanked again with the bream but had a few decent sized wrasse and one table - size pollack [ about to be turned into fish supper for one!] The wind went back into the East and eased a bit on the way in..... but there was still plenty of rolling around. Hoping for some warmer weather soon, Alun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I replied to Alun's post offering a seat on Gastronought for a days Bream fishing. Scaped the ice of the windscreen in the early hours, met up with Alun and we were afloat by 7.30 The sea at this stage is almost flat calm! Onto the mark and almost straight away we are into Wrasse and Dog fish. We are soon joined by a couple of charter boats and then by Gordon in Enticer. The sea at this stage is beginning to be the other side of lumpy. By about 2.00 Enticer heads for home with a nice Bream on board leaving us on our own. By now it's becoming difficult top stand up in the boat, but perseverance pays of and Alun lands a nice Pollack and I get a Bream of 2lb 4oz. Not a record but a PB for me. I am certainly learning what good little sea boats the orkney 520's are because despite some quite heavy seas Gastronought remained a safe fishing platform throughout. We head inshore for a while and a few more Dogfish and Wrasse are landed. I end the day with the biggest birds nest I've ever had, mainly due to a combination of braid, a multiplire and inexperience. (another PB for me) Despite the tangle and the fact that I am still swaying about several hours later, I had a great day out. Many thanks Alun. Next time it really needs to be warmer and calmer!
