Up early and off to Parkstone Marina by just after 7 ish. Stuie was already unloading his car when I got there. 🙂 ½ a marathon to the end of "F" pontoon. ( Not a chocolate bar though). Kettle was already hot so a quick cuppa was needed. Set off through the harbour on silky smooth water. Past the chain ferry then headed for the "secret Whiting mark" with expectations quite high. Charlie got his hands on a "big buxom blonde" very quickly followed by Stuie getting a slightly undersized Whiting so we dared to think it was going to be a good day's fishing. Dave came and joined us about 100 yards away on Reel Magic and we were getting plenty of Doggies. We think that Graham arrived as well? but not sure as he was a little further away. Stuie got HIS hands on a "big buxom blonde" as well but she was 1 bra size down from Charlies ! We had Bacon Baps supplied by the skipper for lunch. (Thanks Charlie) Not an eventful day's fishing but a great day out on flat sea in a great boat, great Skipper & good company. I think we had: Whiting (Charlie had 2 goalies), Dogs, Dogs, Dogs, Blondes, Congers, very small Smoothies & more Doggies. But I loved it. So good to get out again. Thank you Charlie & Stuie. - - - And thanks for the invite for next week's Cod / Whiting comp too Charlie. Looking forward to it. Jim

I took a mate out today and anchored up close to alfresco on the banks a few miles out. A doggie joined us within minutes. We didn't have to wait too long for the rays to join in. We ended up having a cracking day with rays to 19lb, a couple of doggies and eels (landed) up to 10lb with a few very heavy and very grumpy fish being lost on the way up.

Thanks for a great trip Charlie - bacon butties were an unexpected treat - and thanks Jim for the endless teas and coffees. A lovely day to be out with great company.

If it was I had better change the menu. Good to see you out there Graham

Thanks for joining me guys it was a pleasure having you onboard. Nice to be out again, shame the winter fish were so scarce But still avery nice day

and easy to turn on the lathe.

I think it was the smell of the bacon that enticed the doggies over to you :-)

Good to read Jim and Stuie, what do you mean Stuie the bacon butties were an unexpected treat, surely you realize Charlie is an excellent skipper and while planning the cod whiting trip he will have added the butties on to his list, that was the only bit he was going to guarantee 😂. Sounds like three boys on a boat, and a good day out well done Charlie👍. Colin.
