Paul D Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Slow fishing for us as well on Christchurch Ledge. We had 5 or 6 bream in total - the biggest being 2lb 2oz to myself. Had a couple of Cuttlefish as well which I put in the bait tank. I lifted the lid off the tank and peered in to get a mackeral out and the cuttlefish squirted ink a huge distance all over me !!

alun j. Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Gastronaught's crew had a lively and relaxing day's fishing in almost perfect conditions! Out to the Ledge soon after 8 ... where were all the other boats?? Found a suitable looking spot and were soon joined by Neo and Marineboy in close proximity. Action from the 'Off'.....and the better fish!!.;....... as the day went on, the bream got more numerous but smaller. Slack water killed the action [ briefly] but the ebb got more and more small bait - snatchers, with just the odd better one. Adam had the best bream at 2lbs 3 oz.; I could only manage 1 lb 14 oz......but numbers approx. similar.......[ loads each!!] As the ebb faded.....we both fancied a change......... so off to fill the bait tank. Not so easy!! Maybe it was the lack of flow ... or the strange brownish water closer in, but mackerel were hard to find. With just enough for an hour or so we started a few drifts as the tide started and soon got into a few bass.........not big, but 4 - 5 lbs size fish give a good tussel on light gear ...... and again Adam gets the better fish again!! All baits used by 4pm and early finish suits us both. Could write more about weird weather .....Paul is near Hengist Head in rain, we are a few 100 yards out in sun , applying lotion..........but this is Catch Report! Hard to believe every where so quiet for a Sunday....... very little boat traffic, no queue on the slip, no jams on the road... can't last!! Alun.

Coddy Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Bill and I where also out on Dancing Ledge after a bit of a late start as I need fuel. Found a spot just behind Silver Speay charter boat and down went the pick. Almost instantly we were into Bream. Did not keep a count but weighed all fish. Bill had the biggest at 2.5lb and I managed one at 2lb, most were around the 1.5 - 1.75lb mark. As the tide slackened we headed off to Poole patch to find it almost empty of boats, soon found why no fish, loads of bites but could not connect so suspect very small pin bream. Weather was nice around the West side but dull and a bit of a chill in the wind on the patch. Good to be out however. Regards Coddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Court Jester report Neal, John Young and Mike Fox - joined the rest of the boats fishing off Dancing Ledge. John had a couple of Bream - largest estimated to be between 1lb 12oz and 2lb (have you got the scales? - no thought you had them!!!) Saw the occasional fish being brought aboard by boats either side - so decided to try elsewhere. That proved to be no better! Other than a near endless supply of Dogfish. Final stop, off Ballard and just as we were planning to go the Bream started feeding - but I think I had located the Nursery! ... and still catching Dogs! Lovely day, lovely weather - good company - crap fishing...... 3 out of 4 not bad - Guarantee if it wasn't for a comp we would have all caught loads!!

Fugazi Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Great day to be out but fish wise a complete disaster, at the first mark it was really slow. Chris the crew had 4 bream all between 1lb 7oz and 1lb 9 oz and I had just one tiddler at 12oz. I decided that they wern't going to get any bigger and headed off to search elsewhere convinced there would be bigger ones, but it just got worse!

Sinbad Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Had a really slow start, trying to get a novice competition crew into gear and ready to go (well he did have to cook his own breakfast first then put his guinea pig and rabbit out in the run..... come on he's only 12!) Okay, so by mid morning we were enjoying getting a buffetting in the swash as we picked up a few strings of mackerel (only small ones though) and very scattered. Eventually we got a few jumbos, then nipped off round the corner to ballard point. Trying to get the perfect lunch spot, sort of killed off the chances of anchoring in some tide (bream need a flow!). So we contented ourselves with Soup and endless dogfish - indicating we werent over any rough ground..... hauled tackle. pick, followed by boat, then spent the remaining 2 hours of the evening pressure washing all the barnacles off. Was nice to get home.... Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
