Sadly i didn't get out on the Bream, The weather gods didn't look to be smiling on me, then on Sunday my boy asked if we could go out anyway so only lures on the drift, didn't fancy bobbing about with my boy as he'd soon turn green and given his age i definitely don't want to put him off fishing just yet! He did however manage to bag him self 2 small bass on lures which made his day

Another good day out on Reel Magic cheers Dave. We tried hard.. . .moving several times but plagued by small bass. I had only bream at 1lb 3oz. Nearly forgot the elusive flounder for boat species

Bobi and me had a lazy start and headed out about 0930hrs. We set off for our chosen mark, we passed Dave Reel Magic and Charlie Alfresco on our way. We dropped our anchor but I wasn’t sure I had got it quite right as the wind was blowing us off the channel. This is where the Targa paid off for us as all we had to do was go up to the bow and fish from there. First drop Gilthead to me only a small one , but as we were fishing the comp it was weighed, 7oz. I had two more in quick succession 1lb 2oz and 1lb 13oz. Then a different bite and I was into a fight with a Smoothie, it was a big fish but fishing off the bow has one drawback, yes the anchor chain, it managed to wrap around the chain and snap me off. So far Bobi hasn’t had a bite, then came another Smoothie to me and Bobi`s first bite, sadly it was only a small Bass. We decided to move to the other side of the channel to see if we would sit better and then fish off the back. We were into fish straight away me into Gilts two more both 1lb and Bobi into Bass. Then at last Bobi has a Gilt 1lb 6oz. More Smoothies to me than a Black Bream 1lb 6oz to me too. Time for lunch and true to form, cup of soup in one hand bread roll in the other my rod hoops over, I managed to juggle lunch and rod and another Gilt to me 1lb 13oz. We moved a couple of times but didn’t manage any more fish so we knocked it on the head just before 1500hrs. Results for Boblin. Bobi. 1 Gilthead Bream 1lb 6oz. Colin. 6 Gilthead Bream 1 Black Bream 1x 7oz. 1lb 6oz 2x. 1lb 1x. 1lb 2oz 2x. 1lb 13oz

Well done colin you were exactly where we wanted to be on Saturday however dads army also known as PMVS cane along and needed there mister importance fix and moved us on. That said we had no bites in that area so moved off to Hamworthy. My largest fish was 15oz but at least it was the target species

Sadly not my hook Greg 😕

So far Salterns £1.57 / l Parkstone Bay (make sure you don't go at low water) £1.45 / l Seems CPL no longer run the pontoon by the bridge and it's run by Certas Energy (and there's no direct phone number so waiting for a call back!)

To true about the commercials Jerry It is good to see that there are far more decent ones about now, it gives the Bream Comp a lot more scope as it is worth targeting them in the harbour on a windy day.

Well done everyone for getting out, it must of been like the M25 in the South Deep! I will leave results until this evening in case someone has yet to report. Really good to see some Gilts in reasonable numbers coming out, lets hope the commercials don't get wind of it.

They didn't but they probably went back and filled in forms about how they'd saved thousands of lives so that when they want donations it looks good. If anyone wants our club to adopt them as our charity you can expect a knee in the b*****ks from me. 😒 Oh yes, and that's after the Harbour master saying they use their discretion. Us & them were the only boats for miles.

Dan joined me today for a Fathers day afloat. We had a nice time in the harbour chasing some gilts, in the stiff breeze. A swinging boatvin the shallows makes it a bit tough. I managed one of the target species, weighed at 1lb 1oz Then a keeper bass had us hoping for a better gilt. A more subtle bite bought me a slimey silver eel. First one i have had for years, weighed at 1lb 2oz We moved to another area and I had a terrific run, was this the big one. Nope a energetic smoothy of about 7lb, boy do they run about in shallow water. By half three we had enough of swinging about and headed in. PB gilt for me i 🤔, but not the one that got away.

Bream Comp Results 1st Colin Gilthead Bream 1lbs 13oz 2nd Bobi Gilthead Bream 1lbs 6oz 3rd Sparky Black Bream 1lbs 3oz 4th Charlie Gilthead Bream 1lbs 1oz Congratulations Colin and everyone who entered and made it out on not an easy day weatherwise. Lets hope next year we might continue the Bream Comp and if we have interest add another to the list.

Not to forget the individual species too Mick??

What reason did they give for moving you on? Terry.

Thanks Greg, such a shame that I managed to drop my breakfast all over the deck and it landed ketchup side down with bits of ragworm and weed for extra flavour! Sorry I forgot that you had actually caught your first fish…I was genuinely pleased for you when you caught your (second) 5oz schoolie !
