Cheers chumrades. Fishing inside Rick Steins Caught a couple of Lobsters. Only £213

using you wallet as bait, always seems to work in there. LOL

Comp Results as per Oli’s new specimen sizes sheet, I believe the only difference will make Steve’s Thornback a bigger winning percentage.

Well done Steve, and all that turned out to fish

14 Rays in the day. Jerry Small eyed 7-14 Thornback 9-15 Jerry 2 Small eyed 8-7 Spotted 2-15 Kev Small eyed 7-15 Spotted 3-12 We had a good mixture of fish through the day Tope, Smoothounds, Conger, Bream, Dogs, Conger, Bass, Mackerel (2)!, Scad. Much better weather than forecast and a beer at the end of the day doesn’t get much better.

Undulate ray 12-8 Only found 1 large mackerel, this undie took the head. Guest had 2 more about 2 lb each. Several smooth hounds on squid and a couple of dogs. Pleasant day but a bit slow.

Graham 8lb 1oz Thornback Steve 10lb 8oz Thornback It was hard work but we managed to get 8 or so mackerel at the start of the flood, after that it was head to a ray mark. We had 6 thornies in all and a bonus couple of bass along with a black bream and a few dogs but fortunately not the whole kennels. What was probably going to be the biggest ray Graham could not persuade off the bottom he'd gain a little line only for it to slam to the bottom again, eventually the hook pulled, suspect it was foul hooked. I hooked what I thought for all the world was a big bass only to see a thorny of around 8lb surface! First ray of the day, 8-14 thornback Graham's best ray 8lb 1oz Best of the ray 10lb 8oz, weighted on the pontoon to get an accurate weight.

Good luck everyone, I shall be absent. Buggering off fishing was considered to be a bit selfish on our 50th wedding anniversary. Anybody else think this is a bit harsh? Terry.
