Clan Macvey

[Member Removed]

Does anyone fish the wreck of the Clan Macvey in Poole bay?

 

I was thinking about launching from Christchurch and trying it over the weekend. What could I expect to catch there?

 

Dive Dorset gives the GPS numbers, does anyone know how accurate the book is on this wreck?

 

Any other wrecks worth trying in that area?

The clan is pretty good, i would rather fish it from xchurch though as its only 4 miles from xchurch entrance. Plenty of pack tope on it in summer (maybe a bit early yet), a few dogs/wrass gurnard etc.

 

Quite a few eels there, i have had my pb eel of 52lb from it, and i also had the joint club record bream of 5.2 from there.

 

Not really a mark for pollack or the like, but a few bass get landed from time to time. If its poor, drop back in about a mile and a half and try xray for some skate. Always a banker when other places are poor.

 

The wreckage is very spread out, and most of it is covered up with sand and gravel, so its just big lumps off the sea bed.

 

I'l pm you the numbers later.

Gnasher,

 

Many thanks for your help and advice.

 

Can I ask what's the 'xray' you mention?

 

Look forward to receiving the PM.

 

Thanks again

xray is a large area of mud, pretty flat and in about 65ft. quite a large area and it has lots of thornies, smalleyes and spotties on it, along with a few undulates. Its quite a big area that a few of the members use. il pm u later anyway.
