Two friends who I had promised a trip for ages were both free for a last minute trip. Bait was needed, and it was just like old times, within half an hour we had enough Mackerel for the day. Off to the SW Banks to look for a Tope or two, when we got there I decided to anchor rather than drift. Wrong, although the tide had been ebbing for over 2 hrs it was totally dormant, we were swinging in all directions, so a drift was set, after a while we did manage 4 small pack Tope, but all small and disappointing. Suddenly the tide was running at 2.5-3knots 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️The tides out of Poole I find impossible sometimes. So we headed in to get away from a fierce tide, after losing a good Ray in the tide we finally bought 4 to the boat, best weighing 15lbs 5oz which took over 30mins to get to the boat!!!!!!! in 2knots of tide. The boys enjoyed the day, stunning weather, a few better fish and a few Mackerel for tea.

Terry! thanks for a most enjoyable day,we were never short of anything to talk about and never short of anything to do. Nifty rigs , your plaice rigs and they catch Mackey too.. The catering was much appreciated…..I’ve got to have a go at the cold smoking. Look forward our next challenge Gummage

Sounds good to me. I will have a chat with Brad and see if he is interested. Brad did a two year ual Level 3 Diploma in Creative Media Production and Technology at Poole College for which he achieved a distinction. This catapulted him into University. His ambition is to eventually become a cinematographer. He has developed good skills in both filming and editing. So I think the challenge for Brad to help elevate the club on it's "You Tube" channel would be good for both Brad and the club.

May be an opening to video some of our after meeting speakers and edit them for club “you tube” channel. 🤷

Well done Greg and family, really good video, Brad could become our go to video expert/employee/Club specialist Youtuber!!!

Just lucky Rob😜

Who says angling isn't a sport!?!!! Good workout for the lads. Jerry, you always find the fish. It's becoming a habit! R

Well done Jerry, a red letter day for them, looked a cracking day. 👍👏
