I gave a trip in an auction for Julia’s house and Air Ambulance before Covid. After cancelling 3 times due to bad weather November 5th looked good. Hard frost and grit on the marina added to the day as a beautiful sunrise appeared. Two anglers appeared, who even though they insisted they were fishermen it transpired Mackerel trips on family holidays were the extent of there experience. No worries, saw Fisheagle at the bridges, tried to call at various times on 6 but no response throughout the day. Probably catching too many fish😜 The guys wanted to catch Bass, after a fruitless hour+ we gave up trying to get live bait, so headed east where we struggled. Superb weather and the two anglers managed Bass to 56cms 4-5lbs, Tub Gurnard and LSD. Certainly not a red letter day but they were over the moon, incredible amount of baitfish in the water which we could not identify or match. Hooky appeared at the bridges having had a day out. Cobbs had no water so no wash down, funny old world!!!!!

I forgot to say huge thankyou to Jerry Sumbler for giving up a day to crew when he is mega busy. 👍👍👍👍

I nearly called you this am, not that I was interested in your outing but you had the bloody bridge up and stopped me going to work. Glad you all had a reasonable day both fish and weather wise. Tony and I are out am tomorrow but looking at the weather suspect we will be back early doors for a Doombar or 1,2,3 or 4

Plenty of Tope to around 35lbs with a PB to Mike. Several larger fish lost as we weren't really expecting or geared up for them. A few of the initial runs being several hundred yards and then snap offs or bite offs, initally we suspected a small shark till we got one to the boat. A good selection of Rays across two of the three marks fished with six over 14lbs the largest being a Blonde of17 lbs. The usual Congers, dogs etc. plus one solitary Whiting on out third mark near Tom on Illusion. A really calm day with plenty of Winter sunshine. So much for the Winter Species. Mike may put up a few pictures.

Good effort, what a treat for them to only have 2 anglers onboard. R

Fished Southbourne from shore this evening, and drew a blank. It's rare to have a winter beach fishing trip where I had as many cod as I had pin whiting!

And thanks to the safety officer who tracked us on Marine tracking Ais to make sure we were safe, just joking 😂 I took note of the Lat and Long I will try to avoid.🤣 It was good to see you on the screen, very good for safety👍

Mike, the trawler had been working just of the beach all day.

Well, they were thick on cornwall in sept and mid Oct. Bait touched bottom for 2 seconds and we were hooked up. Mind you, 10 - 1 small to keeper ratio. R

Plenty of dogs,conger small,and 2 whiting.Lovely day.

Now the good bit..fearing we might be low on fuel we set off back…… yep…..we were right……we had totieoff for awhile in a beautiful sandstone rock pool IMG_0212.MOV

Hi Neil, I have chatted to other committee members and this has arisen before. It was suggested to have a weigh in to have a bit more of a social occasion and maybe something to eat. As Poole is the centre of the earth for PBSBAC 🤣🤣🤣 it has been suggested to continue with the weigh in and if you can txt me by 4pm the day of the Comp then your fish can go into the results, which should be given around 5pm that day. I think this is the best option for keeping as many members happy as we can, I hope you agree. Tight Lines Jerry
