Happy birthday Stuie

Hi Doggie Nice first post. Not sure chumming will bring you noticeable results in Poole bay, but you never know. Have a look at the online navionics maps, may give you an insight into the sea bed. There is also a website worth looking up. DORIS. Marine mapping. There's a few reefy bits close in, Durley and Bournemouth rocks, and the Poole Patches. Looking forward to your next post,hopefully with something bigger

Presume this is you?Caught a 3lb plaice at that exact spot Friday

Happy birthday Nigel

Hi Ron. Welcome to the club. The info available if you put in an effort is amazing. 6 years ago I'd never held a fishing rod. We do a species hunt each year for members boats, and the variety caught is amazing. So far this year as an individual, not a boat, I'm on 27 with an aim for 31. This is partly down to the help the members give with providing info on what and where. Try to make the meets and you'll be welcomed into the fold

Just back from a nice couple of days in Ladram. Great atmosphere and chilled vibe. Won't do a big write up as I'm cream crackered, and the fishing was good but nothing to write home about My home for a couple of days A nice start to my Friday Twitchy conditions Loads of plaice Loads of these Wrasse on a fisssssshhhhhh Monster Mac (1.5lb) Went for a night session targeting congers. Lots of pout and a huge Huss Whole maccy head keeps the dogs at bay Saturday was more of the same fishing, but with an easterly to take the edge off A new species for the hunt Paid some minions to haul me back to me tent Had a burnt steak in the clubhouse,great catching up with old and new chums,enjoyed watching the welsh rugger win. No names needed. Some bugger banjoed my motor Cheers Mark Berleypro for taking the details as the swine drove off Great weekend Hope the hangovers aren't too bad and well done to Donk and HOW for a good bash Luvtoots

Happy Birthday Colin

Happy Birthday Allan

Poor bloke, wrestling a shark, and you ask him if he wants a strapon? What happens at sea.....

All the best Dave

Thought so Cracking session that

How far out btw?

I think the only fish I'd do that for is a big stingray. It'd be caught in the shallows so a quick paddle to shore for unhooking Watch this space

Weighing big fish on a boat is hit and miss, on a kayak near impossible. I weighed a small eye last year at 11 lb. I've also weighed an undulate at 14It just about worked. It wouldn't be fair on the fish. This year I've had pb Rays , tope and smoothys. I reckon my smut was close to 18-19 lb but I'll not know. I measured it and used the converter that put it a solid 19, but it was lean and muscular , not very fat, so I'll never know. I know smuts can be taken but I wasn't going to do that for a weight. I'm always well happy to catch a good fish though.

If I'd have landed first......

Fishing the Airshow on Saturday I tried a mark in the hope for a small eye ray for my species hunt We were being decimated by black bream in 38 feet of water so pushed out into 54 feet Bought aboard a nice "12lber", the typical sized Undulate Ray from this area. Had a few dropped on the way up. Brian was already into three on board when my maccy live bait ( a Big Mac) started to go mental. It obviously wasn't happy but then stopped and I wound into my pb Undulate Ray. The video doesn't do it justice as it was a paving slab of a fish Really deep bodied. It's nose where you grab them must have been an inch thick. Finished the day watching the planes, and catching various other species, and a first onboard for me too( although not on my hunt list) Here's a little clip taken from my phone The best part of the day wasn't the fishing Wasn't being out Wasn't the air show It was Brian's landing I want you to imagine a full beach Now picture a wave picking you up and you start to surf, facing hengistbury way. Start counting to 10. Youre surfing At ten imagine coming into 6 inches of water with the whole beach marvelling at your amazing surf prowess, then slowly you realise a small wave is starting to tip you "But I made it?" But you were wrong. Over you go in six inches The whole beach sighs and says together "ahhhhh. Shame." He surfed that wave like a South African boss. Finished like a Geordie brickie Highlight of the day

Happy birthday chum

Thanks for your birthday wishes Had a run up the river on the purbeck gem today. You should try boats, they're ok. Tonight I watched Kill Bill Volume 1, but couldn't hear a thing

Once again flogging gear on behalf of Barry ( Barto) who has given up all things fishing He bought this for the Alderney trip and decided against it. The box has been opened but camera has not been used so 99.99% new I know nothing about this camera I looked on fleabay and there's one second hand for £100 I thought this would be great on a boat rather than kayak as it sticks really well to glass and fibreglass ( I use suction for my rod rest/camera) Also has the spare battery which is better to change on a boat than a yak, hence for sale on here rather than Anglers Afloat.. Comes with suction mount and spare battery Seems a tidy bit of kit I'll take £90 plus £10 to HOW please Here's some photos Not interested in offers so if you want this, first to call can have it, as long as they've got the dough Cheers Lofty 07740456081
