Hi Neil It will go against the specimen comp for the month as Jerry is looking to try and run the species comp again as a one day comp.

Mal kindly offered himself to help me with three juniors on Sunday. We fish headed to Swanage bay and a few tries for some mackerel, nothing caught. Anchored for a ray hopefully, a LSD for Blake at 1lb 4ozs and a small smooth hound for Harvey at 1lb 12ozs. Tide backed off so we moved out for more tide, nothing really showing with only a few bites and an increasing wind so we moved to the patch to get interests up. Fish from the off which kept Mal and myself very busy, unhooking, cutting up bait, untangling etc and Mal with new rig making. The guys caught endless quantities of small bream, pout, LSD's and various species of wrasse. The very best going to Harvey with a cracking Cuckoo Wrasse of 1lb 2ozs. Early afternoon saw the wind increase so a slow return to base to fuel up and a boat clean up, well needed. Time just allowed a well deserved pint of Guinness for Mal and myself after a pretty exhausting day. (Our pasties are still on the engine warming) Blake was asleep by 6pm and didn't wake up until this morning. Cheers Mal, great effort very much appreciated. 👍 Note to self, one novice junior per one adult if you a breather throughout the day, we didn't stop.
