Gas Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Abode 11 Apologies first for the late report as i only returned Monday late and had broken glasses on the retrieving of Abode 11. Apologies to Derek unable to tie up over the weekend but the boat traffic was scary to say the least, going and coming back into Poole harbour. We Sat waiting for the bridge, First time in ages, we then set off for some bait, one Mackerel in an hour, so off to the mark with squid and one mackerel and some scads, within 20 mins, bang I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Removed Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 No problems Craig, Would loved to have joined you on the mark....certainly sounds a goodun. You could have had some Mackerel...I did offer! Same as you I did find them difficult to get....started out with the first drop of the feathers and within one minute of starting the troll (couldn't be doing with pumping the rod up and down...too tired, so used the outboard)...Full House one on each of the four feathers. Thought this was gonna be a doddle...WRONG....took another two and half hours to get another four. SOMEONE MUST KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS am I too doing something wrong??? Thought I would then wait for you before going to Ex ray. I did not know where it was and although I could have found it (could see several boats in that area) being single handed I did not fancy trying to haul in my anchor afterwards. I tried to get you on channel 6 and thought that maybe you had given up and stopped off at the airshow and not bothered to fish. Glad you had a great weekend....perhaps catch up another time.

Gazza Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Craig, I don't know where you are trying for mackerel, but they tend to be nearer inshore this time of year. Harbour enterance sandbanks side or just off bournemouth pier gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Nice report Craig Sorry to read about the lost Bass mate, just TRY and stay calm if you can and you will get the next one. I suspect that a lot of the lost fish may have been tope, but you never know. sounds like you had a busy time, it also sounded like the macs were hard to get last weekend, a lot of Members are reporting the same.

Mike Fox Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Glad you had a good time Craig and all, and impressed at the conger and bass - same mark? I think you left at the right time, as it was very quiet for us with just spider crabs (dropped) and small bream. No mackerel, no dogs and definitely no ray!

Gas Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Yes Mike same mark, still upset over the Bass though. Charlie my biggest goal since fishing out of Poole has been to catch large Bass, and I was so so close. But as you say next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
