Decided on a trip out of Mudeford with my Mum as crew. What a crackin day with flat calm seas and no wind. Got to north X-RAY about 9am after waiting at the slip for about 20 mins as the queue was building rapid. Clipped up to the bouy and rigged up 2 rods each, the light rods set up for bream/other smallish fish, and the heavier rod set up for whole live macky's. Got the feathers out and first drop-5 macky's for the bait well-an hour later, still only 5 macky's for the bait well, where the hell have they got to? Stick on a live 10" macky and cast this 15yds off the back of the boat and leave it in the rod holder on freespool until something happens-an hour later after catchin loadsa bream to 2.8lb on my little rod the big rod bounces around and then the freespool kicks in and the fish screams about 10 yards of braid off the spool before i could get the rod out of the holder......hit into it and after a heaavy dogged scrap, another Thorny of just under 13lb graces the deck of Gnasher. Got the glove on and held it down to get the hook out, unfortunately my finger ends up in its mouth-like a bloody vice these jaws..couldnt get my finger out for sh1t for about 10 seconds until it eventually pops out with the glove still in its jaws. After a few pics on mums camera, its put back to live another day. First drop with the feathers and another string of 5 for the well. Back down with a lives. After about 2 hours of banging out endless bream(one of which stabs its fin into hand and it snaps off in my skin-have now got a poxy bream splinter) and LSDs one of which wraps my arm and a stray pout, the macky rod once again leaps into action whilst im bringing in a better bream on my small rod...hit into what i thoight was another thorny until i loose it. Reeling in a smashed up macky i near the back of the boat when a bull huss of about 10lb follows my macky right up to the surface where it the hits the bream i have on my little rod. My half munched macky was still dangling off the back of the boat and suddenly a Tope smashes into it 10' off the boat.....which broke my 40lb trace in a second. Over the next hour me and mum both get smashed up twice each so an upgrade in trace sees mum land the first of a few pack tope between us the smallest of them all bites me in the leg. Notheing big only up to low-mid doubles but lost a biggy which i just couldnt stop and it broke me up on 80lb trace afetr about 20 seconds. All in all a crackin day but got bitten by a tope, a thorny, wrapped by a doggy, and stabbed by a bream. I loved every bit of it tho.

 

All the best,

Well after all the info i got from you lot about fishing out of Lymington river, i hitched up the boat and got to the slip about 5:30pm. The River looked quite calm and i saw Vernon Everitts charter boat 'Stella' leaving the pontoon about 5 mins before we put our boat in....i was feelin confident.....until as i was cruising down the river towards the mouth i saw 'Stella' coming back in-i was a bit confused by this until i saw the solent. It was kicking up big time, so all we could do was sit just off the ferry channel and bang out a few small bass upto just under 1lb. In a nutshell, the fishing was crap and the weather was crap too.......

 

Oh well hopefully it will improve for the weekend when ill be out again, if not the Barbel better watch out in the royalty cos Dommy's comin!

 

All the best and cheers to everyone for the info....it will come in handy when the weathers good!

 

 

 

Dom

Cheers fellas,

 

Well ive no excuses for blanking now ....whats the best bait for stingers?

 

If anyone else is about this evening geive us a buzz on the radio.

 

 

Dom

Sounds good Tom,

 

Do you know of any marks in the solent or shall i just find a likely lookin area and blank there instead?

 

How do i fish hard backs? I know all about peelers so any help on hardbacks will be appreciated!

 

 

Dom

Im having a go out from Lymington tomorrow eveining as the weather is suppose to be crap and goin out of Mudeford wont be too nice on 'Gnasher'.

 

Any help on where to go and what to go for......would have gone after smoothies but no peeler so have got some raggies and macky's.

 

Is it worth drifting or anchoring up?

 

 

 

Dommy

Im looking to get out for an evening out next week after work and i fancy a Tope or 2. Are there any about at the mo and if so are there any anout out of Mudeford?

 

Where are the best marks for Tope in gereral out of Mudeford?

 

Any info would go a long way!!!!!!!

 

 

Cheers,

 

 

Dom

How about my little John Wilson Six Shooter left hand wind bait castiing reel..................................

 

Any ideas as to why my level wind has packed up. It works until it gets to 1 end and then it gets stuck and i dont know why. Ive taken off now but now all my line piles up in 1 part of the spool.

 

 

Anyone ever sent any John Wilson tackle back to the manbufacturers and if so what was the service like and did they charge much?

 

 

Any advice welcome!!!!!!!

 

 

Cheers

 

 

Dom

 

Yeah PJ i was, sorry bout not hearing you mate, was miles away and dont even think i turned the VHF on. There were macky splashing everywhere on the way out, i saw a fish lump out in the run on the way back in aswell. may have been a bass. The fish finder was showing quite a few fish around. Shame i lost the feathers as i would have probably had loads. Would have liked to of caught something decent though insted of dogs and small bream.

 

Dom

After all the hype about how many fish you guys were haulin over the weekend i just had to have a go. After a long bosing days work i got home about 5:45 and hitched the boat on the motor and headed to Mudeford with my mate Daz as crew...(well actually i suppose i was crew as he was at the helm the whole evening as he used to work for Cunard and he steered the QM2 on its maiden voyage out of Southampton so he was skipper for the evening)....anyway got to the slip about 6pm and headed to X-RAY. Stopped about half way and found a shoal of mackys so feathered up a few until Daz had a go and lost my only set of feathers on his first drop, a bit heavy handed afetr hitting the bottom and snagging a rock. Got to XRAY about 7:15 and clipped upto a bouy. Stuck on a fat macky fillet on my "big rod" and a sliver of squid on my "little rod". Well after about 5 mins both rods are banging around.....hit the big rod and started bringing up the hardest fighting Doggy i have ever caught......then brought up a small bream on my little rod. This was pretty much how the whole evening panned out with Dogs and Bream up to about a pound coming more or less every drop. Back at slip about 9:15 and headed to MaccyD's for a bigmac meal and home. All in all a great evening out and good to see a few macky showing.

 

 

Dommy

Anyone going for a trip out tomorrow evening?

 

Im venturing out hopefully on Gnasher to hopefully bag a few bream or bass. If anyone else is out of Mudeford let me know.

 

Dommy

I would love to be there but my daughters 2nd birthday on sunday and have a wedding on saturday so with the best wknd of the year so far weather wise i cant bloody fish-Typical. Will have to get out for an evening next week if anyones up for it!!!!!

 

Good luck to all those who do fish.

Danny, Danny, Danny.......

 

I used that one about 3 months ago with a Polar Bear......

 

 

You idiot!

I went fly fishing yesterday.........

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I caught a 5lb Blue Bottle!

 

 

 

 

I dont know if anyone else has noticed but everyday when i drive to work i cross over Tuckton bridge in christchurch. Outside the Riverside pub there a a dozen or so boats moored up and 1 of these has been sunk. Just thought id let you guys know in case anyone knows someone with a boat moored there. It is the boat nearest the pub gardens.

The 7 dwarfs are in the Vatican and the pope comes out to greet them.

 

Dopey goes up to him and says "Mr Pope sir are there any dwarf nun's in the Vatican?"

The pope replies "No Dopey,there arent"

 

The rest of the dwarfs start laughing.

 

Then Dopey askes the pope....."Mr pope sir are there any dwarf nun's in italy?"

The pope replies "no Dopey there arent"

 

The rest of the dwarfs burst out laughing again and are rolling around the floor in histerics.

 

Then dopey asks..."Mr pope sir are there any dwarf nuns in the world?"

The pope then replies "No dopey there arent, Why"

 

The other dwarfs are crying with laughter now and then Bashful pipes up and shouts..."Dopey shag*ed a penguin, Dopey shag*ed a penguin!"

What do you call an Irishman who thieves your pint?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

......................Nick McGuiness!

What do you call a couple that go fishing together?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rod and Annette.

Yeah ive heard of WD40 as an enhancer aswell.

 

My mate Rick regularly goes out with Chris Clark's (Ex England shore fishing captain) brother Tim on his boat. He has used cut up pieces of foam sprayed with WD40 as bait and caught dog's on it. Why he tried it god only knows but apparantly he did.

i dont understand this shortage of eels malarky. How come when i go fishing on the river stour and the avon, as soon as it gets to dusk the eels come out to play. You can catch over 20 eels an hour.

 

Maybe its just me cos i cant catch nothin' else.
