JIMBOB Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Hi all managed to get out last nite as planned with Mappo and his dad, the plan was off to Xray for a ray till dark then on to the ledge, Its was blowing a northley 3 or 4 when we left and we thourght it would be calmish out there, was it heck!! just for a change a lumpy snotty sea,again!! But it didnt stop the fish from biteing After about an hour I had a mad spell with 3 fish on in about 20 minites the first was a small eye of 9lb 12oz then anouther of 10lb 12oz on a live mackrel!!! then as that was haveing its mug shot taken my rod was off again but the hook pulled. On the ledge my luck was still in as I managed a conger first cast but just a baby of 25lbs. then we sat there for 3 hours with out a bite, Thats fishing I suppose!

Paul D Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 James, It was turning lumpy when we were out there. Wind against tide and all that. That's why you saw us coming back ( my friends 6 year old was turning green ). Had some good sport fishing single feather on a light rod for mackeral. Had a couple of doggies and then it started chopping up so came back into the harbour. Better luck tomorrow hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Removed Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 I think jimbob has to be the luckiest,jammiest,spawniest angler i've ever fished with. a bloody small eye on live mackerel!!!!!!. i think he must be very in touch with his feminine side contributing to unusually high amounts of pheromones on his hands or something!

alun j. Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Hi James, Can you give me a clue where ' X-ray ' might be ?? would fancy the chance of catching a ray or two as a change from bream [ which don't seem to be so abundant this year ]. Had a good session last summer out of Weymouth, near the Ringstead Ledges, with a mixed catch of rays and bass but haven't found the dustbin lids in abundance down this end........ have I been missing out ?? Alun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swainiac Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 James.....two very good Rays, what's the club record for small eyed??????? And yes very spawney on live mackeral, however, you cant be spawney every time you fish, i think its consisitently good angling...............now, when can we get out next, Jimbob!!!!

JIMBOB Posted July 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 The club records about 14lb for small eyes, Its strange though they all the ones I catch average between 8 and 10 1/2lb Its a big average But thats year after year ,so they must stop growing about that size??? Rich always up for a trip Hopefully the weather in august is better that it has been. as soon as the weather sorts it self out will organise some dates. Alun ive sent you a pm.

JIMBOB Posted July 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Simon,I was thinking of bottleing up some sweat!!!!!: to sell as a fish attractor for large amounts of cash at the local tackle shops!! P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Removed Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 i reckon you could make a bloody fortune mate,next time i'm gonna get you to do all my baiting up then maybe i might catch something!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Its got nowt to do with spawnyness - its the speed he fishes...it makes me feel dizzy. I dont know anyone who can bait up, cast, hook, play and land 3 fish all at the same time whilst having a fag and eating a sandwich!! It makes BW look like a bomb has hit it at the end of the day mind!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
