Very well done Jim

good advice from Charlie, I almost capsised AWOL drifting over Pevril for bass and she was 25' Have a great couple of days

So we followed through with the plan to fish some offshore banks. Out through the 7:30 bridge lift We visited 3 in total with very little return. 1st mark should have produced. We really did try hard but no rays, bass or anything much we did however managed some Mackerel, small congers, loads of Scad and a solitary dogfish. We decided on a move to the 6 mile bank. that was totally barren so off to the South West Banks. Here we had a few more mackerel, loads more scad, one solitary Bream and a nice sized (but not huge) Bass. We did get bit off a few times which we guessed were tope. A really lovely day to be on the water with good mates plus no dramas Almost perfek

As Chris says what a ball ache. If you need a trip out shout me but bring some numbers as mine seem to have stopped working 😂

Took a couple of friends out for a days fishing today. Phil is a keen freshwater angler but has done a little bit of sea fishing before. Darren is not an angler but was keen to give it a try. Lazy start out through the 9:30 bridge lift from Holes Bay out into a fresh breezy bay. The tides were large today so decided to stay inshore. Our first stop was at Poole patch. Lots of small bream and mini conger up to 8lb. SIFCA fisheries boat came alongside for a chat helmed by an ex club member Dave Mayne. After a quick chat they went off to their next victim 😄 The guests were looking a little green but adamant they wanted to stay out. A move was called for so down to Southbourne Rough for more of the same ie bream and slimeys. by now Darren was looking not to good so I decided a return to the harbour was called for where we had more mini bream plus loads of weed. Gave up and came back in thought the 15:30 lift. Whilst the old Poole bridge was midway through lifting some idiot thought it would be a good idea to jump the barrier and make his way up the Poole side leaf with a view to jumping to the other leaf. The bridge operator was not a happy bunny giving the offender short shrift though the tanoy. The guy bottled out of jumping and made his way back to civilisation. Well that made the day more interesting lol. Back on the berth the boat was given a quick wash down then into the bar for a beer. Both guests said they enjoyed the day and were up for another go at a later date

welcome @Nigeldavis

Agree with Rob, I prefer a shorter rope with no triangle affair
