Bream on Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 After a stampede at Andy's shop to sign in for The Poole Dolphins open comp we headed down to the mariner to load Fifty Fifty up. Heading out with Stuart to the mark I was in great anticipation to try and duplicate last years result , to see if it was not just pure luck ! Slipping the hook in , we were soon had Bream of over 2 1/2 lbs. Good start. The tide died away, and the bites ceased. The other boats around us moved off , but we decided to sit it out for the tide to turn. We didn't have to wait long until the baits were being plucked again . As the tide increased so did the bites . I was on a roll , leading the way with more than my fair share ! That only encouraged Stu to respond, and soon caught me up.My earlier fish pulled the scale just under the 4lb mark, but Stu started to land a succession of large fish around the 4lb mark and started to lead the way! We caught fish right up to lifting the hook and was disappointed to leave such great sport , but the weigh in beckoned . At the scales my fish had had Bulimia and scaled 3lb 8oz . Ah well ..Stu's fish went 3lb 15 3/4 oz . Great fish .Looking around I felt Stu was in with a good chance . A short walk to the Pure Drop Inn , we waited for the results to be collated. We didn't have to wait to long before the results to be announced,and Stu had scooped the 1st prize plus the pools. What a result ! I managed to squeeze in at the 3rd spot, so I was well pleased . Shame Jonathan had to do his GCSE revision, we might have had a clean sweep!! Wishful thinking! Still there is always next year !!!

great white Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Great result mate, well done to you both. I see we both got stuffed by the boys I know you work hard at all the preperation and planning and good to see it all paying off. I also know that you only kept a couple each for the weigh in, so an awful lot of fish went back to breed. Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
