Left Cobbs around 2 pm. and headed out for a few Rays. Plenty were caught with six over 12 lbs. The best two going 14 lbs. 8 8ozs. Spoke briefly to Greg and Stuie and then decided on a move nearer to Swanage. We were into decent Bream from the off with numerous fish around the 1.8 lbs. to 2 lbs. Four fish over 2.5 lbs.and two just under three pounds. Two fish were kept with the rest returned.

After such a long lock down 2 good weather days had to taken. Day one 5.15 start to do 9.30 bridge🙈. Bream the main target, the first day we struggled with only one small one but lots of sport including 4-5lbs smoothies on 30-50g lure rods, Undulate to 15.5lbs on the same which took some playing out, mullet,bass,LSD,Ballans, and a few cracking Plaice. Back in the 6.30 lift home 9.15. Day Two 5.15 start for 9.30 bridge, new Bream mark which kept us very busy all day, had 60-70 guesstimate, we decided only spent females for the pot. Only 4 females caught all full of eggs, so we took 2 males each, a tricky subject, decision. Best Bream 2-6oz, also had Baillons, Mackerel, LSD, and another beautifully marked Undulate. On the way home a few worms left so a drift for an hour we caught 9 Plaice best just over 2lbs. Better wash down and back home for 9.30 and a glass of red. Two superb days, let’s hope lockdown stays away for a very long time.

Charlie, do you reckon Sandie will have all the answers then? 😂😂😂👍

I must get some of this stuff

Perhaps we should ask that lady that comes to our meetings

It was suggested to me that they had already spawned and gone to deeper water? Also 30-40% bigger males very black, I was told that was the ones guarding the nests, aggression being the dark colour. It would be great to find a scientist or someone who could really answer the questions, it is a controversial subject every year.
