Mal it is very disappointing and quite soul destroying, things have definately slowed down this season for the bottom species especially, Bass, Bream have held there head up and a few Plaice, Tope, oh and the wrecking hasn't been bad so it's not all doom and gloom. Its just your favourites the Rays which seem to of been thin on the ground. I am sure the water temperature must be a lot of the reason we are seeing changes but i still dislike the trawlers as much as you!!!!!!! Especially as i was planning a Sole trip when the right weather happens.

Dale there are so many out there at the moment it seems, find a deep hole preferably, fresh Macks increase your chances hugely, drift or anchor, big circle hooks, i tend to flapper as you get a better scent trail, i hope to get out early doors tomorow and avoid Tope!!! Give me a shout and if we have been plaugued with them i will happily tell you where we were. Hope you have fun.

Well done for all your work Alan, unfortunately it doesn't show the eastern end of Poole Bay so presumably its still open to bottom trawlers.?

I believe there is a club member who could help , however i dont want to put him under pressure!!!

Bream Comp Results 1st Colin Gilthead Bream 1lbs 13oz 2nd Bobi Gilthead Bream 1lbs 6oz 3rd Sparky Black Bream 1lbs 3oz 4th Charlie Gilthead Bream 1lbs 1oz Congratulations Colin and everyone who entered and made it out on not an easy day weatherwise. Lets hope next year we might continue the Bream Comp and if we have interest add another to the list.

Well done everyone for getting out, it must of been like the M25 in the South Deep! I will leave results until this evening in case someone has yet to report. Really good to see some Gilts in reasonable numbers coming out, lets hope the commercials don't get wind of it.

Unfortunately due to various reasons Loobie 1V cannot fish either day. Please post your catches and dont forget to tell the fish recorder numbers, sizes and maybe even sex. Have a good Comp

As per usual the weather gods are playing silly games, rather than cancel, we will leave it to the discretion of the skippers as to whether they fish in or outside the harbour. Please do post which day you plan to fish so boats out and about can keep an eye out for each other. Tight lines

If i can make it i will be there.

Don't forget everyone next Saturday and Sunday is the Bream Comp, second attempt!!!!! If you haven't put your name down its not too late, top Junior has a rod and reel prize and some bits and pieces for all juniors who enter. We had the wet stuff yesterday, and wind before, so we must be due a good one, fingers crossed.

Absolutely, as you say its a move in the right direction even if not on our doorstep, but lets hope it is.

Thanks Steve, keep watching this post as time gets closer we will watch the weather and the course the power boats are taking on the Saturday.

The cancelled Bream Comp we hope if the weather plays ball will be on the 14th and 15th of June. Should this prove to late notice do say or hopefully sign up below. Loobie 1V crew TBC

ATM Charlie its not looking good at all, especially Monday, even Poole is looking less agreeable if it is a non starter. Hey Ho.

All done.

One week to go before the Bream Comp, around 20 anglers and 7 boats signed up we have a competition, which is great news, and hopefully a few more boats to enter. Don't forget juniors there are prizes, and seniors get your name on that trophy. Lets get lots of pictures, and perhaps keep count of males and females to help those needing that information to help the future of the bream and our sport. I will post weather report on Thursday/Friday

Dale well done for entering, there are rules and regs on the Club Website third one down in the competitions section, saying about pretty much everything like number of rods, number of hooks, times etc. However obviously everything is done on trust and having fun. Any questions do post again. I will post 48hrs beforehand about weather. Its really good we have a few boats entering and time for more yet

Dogfish were unfortunately jumping on the hooks whatever bait was put on, the LSD was even less impressed with the labrador!

Only two weeks before the Bream Comp. Lets hope for some good weather and a good turn out.

the one i have atm is a Shakespeare agility which is pretty much bottom of the ladder but done two seasons, sorry Charlie only saw the make on Friday.

A trip out yesterday in glorious weather, our plans were scuppered after going out 18 miles it was still a horrible dirty chocolate colour. After discussion we headed back in rather than going further to look for better water visability. After checking the usual marks we had a dozen Bream, again the majority were males, some monster Pout and the obligatory LSD and congers. My great start to the month came back to bite me as i failed to catch a Bream all day!!! A few club boats out so it will be interesting to see how they got on. I think boat cleaning and gardening until the grot disappears.

Veals usually have something Charlie.

Family over from South Africa and nephews desperate to fish, the weather window slotted in a treat. Wind direction was well out from some apps, but trusty XC unfortunately correct, first spot produced nothing, so a move found the fish with a dozen+ Bream to just over 2lbs, lsd, Whiting and whips kept them busy for a couple of hours. "don't be disappointed if you miss a few bites lads as they can be finnicky!!!!!" They hit the baits as if they had never eaten before!! So great success and hook ups, i explained about the males, females, eggs breeding etc so one fish each taken for tea. Incredibly small tides killed off the chance of a Plaice at the end of the day however the sun came out and we headed in after a really fun day.

You hit the nail on the head Charlie, i have a SS net which is enormously strong but it is very heavy to land your own fish, so a light weight one similar size but ally handle and rubber net is a piece of cake if single handed or for Bream or Bass.

Red letter Pollock day on Loobie 1V
