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.
