Nige sounds like hard fishing out there, I hate that solent weed! how did the other boats do? what won? James

Any one else out? I'm going cod hunting! but not sure if im going to the carpark or somewhere a little bit closer to home after recent catches

Forgot to add WOW what a fish!!!!

Anyone seen this dont know how to ad a link so... Dorset angler Wayne Little defied his name to land the biggest blue shark ever caught in British waters. Wayne, 41, risked life and limb to snare the big shark, that measured 8ft in length and weighed a mighty 222lb. It beat the previous biggest catch by 4lb

I'm going to stick my nose out there tomorrow from christchurch, I might have to surf out over the bar tho as theres going to be a 2m ish swell on the bar I'm hoping going out over high water it should be passable. Only going for a short inshore assault just to blow of the cobwebs! Sunday looks like more wind less swell, tomorrow less wind more swell, gota work Sunday so I gota go with the swell!! I'll let you guys know what its like! James

I normally find the fishing's best on the marks I fish from first week of November until fist week of Jan, but last winter certain Poole charter boats were bagging up right until feb Im watching that weather for a window too, Ive got this week off and its typical!...... James

Very nice plaice! would love to have seen a whopper like that on my boat! well done

Thanks guys

Ebays worth a shot you will be amazed what can turn up!! I got a new skegg for my suzki, on the same day I broke it!! James

wow good work Paul! looks like you had fun! Great pic's James

Great report. I really enjoyed reading that, there are so many huge tope over there!!! James

Tom Certainly does look topetastic!!

Lol

Hi All Made it out yesterday for a try for the tope, We fished a new mark 18miles from Christchurch and we manged only one of about 12lbs with several dropped runs and a couple of congers! mackerel were really hard to find with only about a dozen all day! So a change of plan for the next slack and headed to an old favorite mark 5 miles inshore and found a few more fish, no monsters but manged a 20lber on a flat calm sea A very long lean and hard fighting male but Its going to be a bit out staged buy the monsters caught in alderney this weekend!!! James

Quote-(all the best guys have a great time and catch loads of fish, wish i was there with you PJ ) Ditto!! good luck chaps not too envious! I'll look forward to the report's I'm out on Friday, I will be thinking of you guys out there 40 miles away Dream fishing! James

I now have a Tender Dawn raider is nearly ready for a summer on the mooring. Thanks for your help. James

Hi all Sorry Ive been in hiding! I'm selling the house, buying a new one, me and the misses work full time and we've got 2 kids!! were does all the time go?? So as soon as the house is sold I will be able (hopefully! to return to a normal life!) Doesn't look like Ive missed much tho!!! So the reason for this post is Dawn Raider is going onto the Quomps at Christchurch, not to far from "OTTER" and I'm in need of a small tender, not fussed about the condition, a shiny one would look out of place with the other's down there! Can any one help?? Many thanks James

Im afraid I saw him and watched him messing around on the bar at low water for 45mins as we waited, he was in a small grey rib/rubber duck! he didnt seem to be in distress and was only 100yards from us but kept wizzing back out to sea, we wondered what he was upto as there was no way he would get up the run at dead LW, he had a fishing rod and landing net in the boat with him!!he then vanished we didn't realise at the time that he could have gone over we thought he went in to the beach!or back out fishing! I phoned the coastguard this morning, aparently we were the last people to see him. I gave them your number Alun as you came in after us incase you saw something too. James

Thanks Chaps

I'll keep an eye out for it Charlie

Well done Craig nice eel Its seems you all liked the new venue and was organised superbly good work to all that got it up and going . I'm going to have to book it as holiday and have a go next year , But what about the time of year? was the September comp a better call that the winter? was there more fish weighed in? any surprises at the scales? what won? tight lines James
