Just read this through.....WOW"" Great angling all, some fantastic fish caught. Great report Charlie !!

Belated birthday wishes Nige.....been having a few beers on your behalf in sunny Lanzarote🍺🍺

Lucky you didn't have your cold beers in live bait well!😯

Don;t worry Jerry, we all lose our way sometimes !

Would of entered but laid up with a back problem, good luck all

You will have to get past the cotton wool first!😁

Shame they were all Tiddlers!

Started off at the chines only to find it full of tiny bream . Down to the piers next, first drift 4 plaice all about 1lb, thought I had it sussed. Well not to be , no more plaice to be had even after a move.......just hordes of bait robbing 3 inch bream Move required so into harbour for a Gilthead , no luck just hordes of 6 inch bass taking bait , only other species caught was a plump corkwing. So you had plenty of fish caught for you today Jim !!

Never mind Jim, will try and catch a few for you !

Is anybody else out tomorrow, we are going out earyiish, be on channel 6.

You can afford it Jim!!😁

Thanks Oli

100% luck , especially in that bright sunshine!😁

I have just filled in catch report wrongly by putting weight of fish in 1 box . The sole weighed 1lb 4 oz and not 1lb as shown. Did put comment in box but it did not come up, sorry about that Oli. Mick

Well what a lovely day it was yesterday! Started of at the secret ray mark on the ebb, plagued by small bream stripping the baits there, no rays but one solitary smoothhound. Moved to southbourne having a couple of scad on the way but as others have said no mackerel about for me either. Small plaice in abundance, tub gurnards and 1 grey gurnard and baby smoothounds. Was on the phone and drifted inside the yellow buoys , had a bite and up comes a sole , now that was a nice surprise !! Got a picture too ! Ran out of bait and came in about 3pm for good clean up......cracking day out.

There were a few hard days over the years Chris!

Not on holiday but out on boat last 2 days swimming and stuff back of brownsea......21 degrees water. Thought you were there too, boat just like yours there! Can't do pictures though

Cheers Dave

Cheers Rob and Charlie, sent Hooky a message and awaiting reply. Will ring wessex tomorrow.

Hi all, got a problem with my kenzaki 20/30 where the reel seat section that goes into butt ( of the rod !!) has come loose and is twisting, I suspect glue has failed , does anyone know of a rod repairer who can sort out for me please? Cheers, Mick

It's got a built in " guaranteed fish locator " too Jim, that should help !!!

Thanks for that !! You seem to be the only " electronics" wizard on here Steve!

Cheers Steve, I would only be using 1 plotter at a time as one is already connected. I have added another plotter to the boat and want to connect that one to vhf as this is the one i will be using mostly, as well as being a back up. So i assume that if the receive and transmit of both plotters are connected to the radio and only 1 unit is powered up it should be OK ?? The plotters are both Lowrance and the VHF is a Navman I think which has the DSC button on it. Mick

Don't you start Jim!!!

How did I know it would be you Nige......😁😋
