Too much information Dave!!!!

Thanks for putting the comps together Sam great effort, always plenty to do behind the scenes aswell. A great day yesterday with the weather being perfect and some cracking fish turning up. Can someone please do some turning before I smash this tablet to bits!!!!!! Done!

Had a daddy day care day today and as the weather was looking so good it would be rude not to use up the leftover bait from yesterday. I asked Stuie if he fancied a few hours out and soon agreed a late start at 9.30ish and back by 2.30ish. Off we went with a plan to fish the swash for a few plaice, well we talked ourselves into giving the harbour a try on the way through. 1st drift and 5 species, Baillons Wrasse, Bass, Red Mullet, Tub Gurnard and a Plaice. May aswell give that another try we said and so we did, again and again we never passed Aunt Betty and didnt pass Stakes. We also had Corkwing, Ballon and a small pout. The amount of Tubs and Plaice caught were well into double figures and a couple of large Red Mullet so a nice selection of fish and a few kept for the table as a real bonus. Thanks Stuie for the great company and book you gave Blake and sitting down reading it to him between catchingfish! Good luck with your comp tonight. Best I go to work tomorrow as I'm fished out this weekend!!! well nearly!

Great reports Rob, well done on another successful trip.

Decided it was that time of the year for the trip for some Sole. Friday night myself and son go to the offshore grounds( 100 metres off the beach!!!) Just as its getting dark anchor down and baits over. A steady run of fish, pout, poor cod, bream, smoothies and a selection of baby rays, thorny, blonde and small eyed. Sole started to show and so did the weed on the flood tide, at times having had bites you couldn't be sure if the fish was on with the amount of weed covering them!!! Not ideal but it kept us busy clearing and keeping baits fresh. 14 in total and 8 of them keepers. Thrown in a thorny of around 6lb going like mad on the light rod and tide. Grabbed a bit of shut eye over the slack while James had an understanding and a chance to practice his untangling in the dark over slack!! Only 2 rods being used when I got up bless him. When the ebb tide started the weed was worse and after an hour I moved in closer just on the off chance of less weed but nothing different, as it was starting to get light decided to start packing up and clean the weed off everything. On the way in a few drifts in the Swash to use up the worms and a good few plaice still about and 4 nice keepers also bass, wrasse and bream. Not a bad night/morning and had Sole for tea so all good. Now to catch up on sleep before it all kicks off tomorrow. Good luck everyone.

Have a good day Dave.

Looks like it would be rude not too tomorrow!! Looking to try again for a few Bass.

Have a good day Steve, in the Far East maybe????

That's what I am saying Stuie, I watched a Parliament debate on bringing in restrictions in Studland regarding the sea-horses. It was a joke the MP was reading from the Daily Mail write up and trying to get a bill passed to stop boats going into the bay and to stop anchoring on the strength of it!!! They need to go over after a good Easterly blow and count the sea-horses on the beach at times, its called nature!! Everyone has an obligation to preserve stocks and every little helps. Have the commercial restrictions been lifted on the undulates does anyone know for sure? Shite someone has just kicked my soapbox away!!!!

Better keep it under our hats they are going in to feed on the sea horses!!!! They would be taken off the endangered list!!! Another chance it will all kick off for the wrong reasons!

Brilliant well done.

Some of the guys I went with a few weeks ago are out there at the moment, it is fishing it's head off, yesterday Cod up to 60lb and Halibut over the 100lb. If you have a chance go for it!!!!

Hope you had a good day Lofty, great weather ordered for it and thanks for sharing!!

Don't trigger the comments Nigel!

Not just the novice yakers, when you watch as you are out people at times think you just point and go!! Everyday out is a learning day for boaters. Amazing there are not more problems and that includes the gin palaces tearing past a few metres away. Great offer Lofty.

Sounds like you are looking forward to it Ian!!! Have a good trip and leave some for others. Already booked for next year be rude not to, just got to count down the days.

Pete is off to Norway on Friday so be quick Martin.
