Myself, son James and Brian as Greg said headed to South Deep. Brian had a few schoolies then a Gilthead of 1lb 6ozs, more schoolies. I fished off the bow and had my line taken and it was a smoothound of 5/6lb and another slightly smaller just after. Then I had a huge Gilthead but tried to lift it onto the bow without a net and dropped it halfway out, schoolboy error on comp day. 😢 Weed got bad so headed out to Swanage, wind was bad so stayed in the bay, had a few black bream between us, biggest was 1lb 10oz to me. Tried again in the harbour but the weed was horrendous so called it a day. You wasn’t on your own Rob I left the squid in the fridge that were next to the ragworms, another schoolboy error but Dave Evans kindly gave us a packet to save a trip to the quay. Cheers Dave. 👍👏. Result Brian P - Gilthead 1lb 6oz Chris W - Black Bream 1lb 10oz. Blake W is fishing in Comp Sunday (junior)

Well Graham, I may as well go first: Myself and Rob left Lake Yard at 08.00AM and travelled round to South Deep, where we joined Kingfisher, Reel Magic and Boblin. The day did not start off that well for Rob as he realised that he had left his lunch bag in the car back at the car park. (that old chestnut!!!) Luckily Carol had packed some nice orange glazed Ginger cake for us both and I had cooked Chicken Egg Fried Rice the night before, and yes luckily for Rob there was enough for two. We had a steady flow of the usual schoolies and then I landed a Guilt Head Bream....Boom, my target species and one of my favourite eating fish and one I need for my species list. I then landed a Black Bream which put up a nice fight on light gear. Shortly after that the rod bent over and the reel started screaming. At last a huge Guilt Head Bream tanking off...... well that's what I had hoped. Unfortunately, it was about a 6 to 7lb Smoothie which Rob duly landed with the net. Rob then landed a Black Bream. The target fish were hard for us to find today and were certainly not large, but we did have some sport and no shortage of fish coming aboard, albeit not the right ones!!! So our results are as follows:- Me - Guilt Head Bream 1lb 1.5ozs Black Bream 1lb 6oz Rob Samways - Black Bream 15 oz So all still to play for Graham.

Get a beer fridge! Win win

Since my garage fridge dief, I now use a coolbox with a freezer block in the bottom Put a rag on top of ice block to prevent freezing the worms. If i get home late i do the same with my catch. Putting in more frozen blocks overnight.

I keep mine in fresh seaweed.

Get another fridge....put it in the shed and use when you need it, Leave door ajar when it's off.
