Solent Gilthead 2-9, my PB

WOW Well done everyone who entered and got out on the Bream Comp, 13 boats which I believe is the most entries we have had for a long time for any competition. Juniors, ladies, old codgers! They were all there, really great result and effort from lots of members. Seniors 1. Adam Franklyn 2lbs 12oz Gilthead Bream 2. Jenny James 2lbs 2oz Black Bream 3. Mal Thomas 2lbs Black Bream Juniors 1 Grahams grandson!!! 2lbs Black Bream ( a force to be reckoned with in the future!) 2 Blake Witheford 14oz Black Bream Congratulations all those who took part and especially those on the leader board. Let’s hope the enthusiasm continues and we can perhaps test the water with another comp or two in 2027

I have learnt our top junior is William, so apologies William, well done grandad and look forward to seeing William feature in future Comps

Excellent turn out. and fishable weather for a change!

So, after my successful trip out on Thursday, it was time to try the kids out of the harbour. I worked in the morning so only had the afternoon available. Launching at wareham about 2.30 then motoring down the the quay to pick up 2 VERY excited 9 year olds. Up till now, we've had a few short sessions in the harbour, but this was to be a REAL trip. I had been advised by Mike at Poole Sea Angling that the outer patch was fishing well, so we headed ther. What a great afternoon/evening. 25 bream of all sizes (grandad definitely caught the smallest), a couple of doggies and my son got a real bend in his 20lb class rod with a nice (angry) conger on a mackerel head. Dropping the kuds off on the quay at 7pm, they felt like royalty being dropped off in front of l9ads of early evening revellers. Id definitely call that a successful trip.

.........and me! Terry.

Didn't see that one, many thanks. The Species Police are on good form at the moment. Lol. Allan.

Unfortunately the closest we could get to a "shark" was a dogfish!
