Gastro to post first results ?? Steve S. ....3 lbs 0.5 ozs. Alun J. .....2 lbs 13 ozs. We had an enjoyable day on Gastronaught....esp as there was very little wind all day; though that air is still chilly...so we were well wrapped up. Bream action was never frantic, but it was steady through most of the day with a good stamp of fish. Honours to Steve with both the biggest and the most...[ I said it was that side of the boat...and it always does better for me when on my own !!] Bonus was the appearance of some mackerel...that kept us busy over slack water...and some good sized wrasse on lures whilst we waited for tide to run.. Things are on the up !! Alun.

Compared with a beam trawler which could be out every day of the week? I’d have thought recreational anglers wouldn’t touch the sides (much like the bass ban).

Jan's 3lbs. 8.5ozs. Bream.

Well done guys we fished on sat. moved around trying to locate some bream our best was one of 1lb 12oz to Wendy.

From an inexperienced sea angler I would hazard a guess in saying it's not limited to Alderney. Alderney has just taken longer to feel the pinch. A growing world population with greater demand for food can only negatively impact natural resources.

Myself and Andrew from our welsh section ventured up to Llyn Padarn set in the Snowdonia National Park. We have been working closely with the charity change step , A team of veteran peer mentors who use their own experiences to help veterans confront challenges in their lives, and to navigate and engage with support services throughout Wales. Fresh from going up the country’s highest mountain Snowdon , our veterans were given some brief paddle skills training before spending an hour touring the lake in groups of three . Some even demonstrated some enviable self rescue techniques 😀 A cracking day afloat with a great group of lads and lass in a stunning location .👍

Nice to see where the money goes. Keep up the good work.

Kimmeridge has always been my favourite launch but not a good option for lady jane so with a great forecast back to basics.

A few places to launch from. Poole/ baiter slipway, plenty of bays along the Purbecks. Christchurch/ Mayors Mead slip, easy to park with a nice cruise off to The Ledge. If you become a full member keep a eye out on the boat buddies, trip planning bit on this ere forums 100% doing the right thing, get out with the locals, im still finding my way after 20 odd years ! Huge learning curve, tides and being safety if the first priority, fishing comes later You will find very little info on specific marks in a open public forum , plenty of info on general areas, every day is different from the last. My best tip is look @ tides4fishing and gain a basic knowledge of when and why fish feed on turn of tides etc
