Gnasher Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) Disaster comp really. Plenty of wind and i watched as the sea blew up infront of me! We headed for the solent, stingers was the plan and after some great info from Ed and also hearing how old mate matt had 3 the previous night, i felt lucky! No chance really! Got out there, got smashed all over the place to the waves and hated every second of it. headed in, changed plan, anchored up in the shallows in keyhaven and had mullet going in seconds! A nice fish of 4.9 (new club record, although i must have broken the origional record about 20 times on the boat over the last couple of years and not relised the record was so low). was landed by me after a couple of minutes before we go back out, tucked out of the way, but huge weedballs blew our chances, combined with being chucked about, we head in degected at about midnight. Day 2, and its looking better. Im out with my son and dad. Get some bait and have a couple of quick bass drifts. Nothing! Motor out to xray, staright into dogs and bream, before the rod pulls over and holds! A nice scrap and a pb smalleyed ray of 12.4 is in net before we call it a day! Anyway, i suppose at least the string was pulled and with two 100% specimens landed i shouldn't complain, but it was a very frustrating couple of days and i was hoping for more. Roll on next time!

just add water Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 Well done on catching some good fish in the end although the club record mullet should be 5lb to tom baker which he caught last year. Dan Quote
Manic Moore Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Good effort though Dan and both nice fish Quote
