Adam F Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 After turning around on Sat morning due to the wind, Alun and I tried again this morning. As we loaded the boat the boys at the marina commented that we were going away for the week! No we said, we just dont know where we are going, what we are doing or what weather to expect! The forecast was still so iffy we had everything onboard from mid channel wrecking kit to inshore breaming, bass gear and the livewell, and clothing from flipflops and shorts to full oilskins! As we steamed up the swash we still didnt have a plan - mid-channel looked do-able, but in the end we played safe as no buddy boat and opted for inshore bream fishing. Well, what can I say - not had a decent bream session this year - I have now! Long story short - 3 hours fishing - around 100 fish between 2 of us - fishing just 1 rod each. Best fish nudging 3lb. 5 fish kept - all others returned to fight again. Great sport. It was simply stunning - the bait couldnt even hit the bottom without a hook-up and I had several double headers - all on a 6oz spinning rod and 10lb braid! The weather was weird - sunny, windy, calm, torrential rain - all sorts! In the end a cracking day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun j. Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Cheers Adam........ excellent day, and not at all like I'd expected!! Finishied with a bbq ...... in the sun ......... after spending much of the day dripping in wet gear !! He didn't even mention the conger, bass or wrasse............. and nearly losing his cherished spinning rod over the side with a feisty bream !! Just love this time of year......... so many opportunities \ options. Thanks again Adam. Alun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinbad Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Chaps Sounds like you had a great day even though plans changed more than the weather. One minute in land it was blowing, next nothing, must have been a difficult call - but well done for making the best of it. Probably had a fair choice of local marks with so few boats about. Nice to know the bream are in such great numbers. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
