I did wonder why I make all the coffee

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

Also interested

Love it I have one of those

Madness had a slow day. Through the bridge at 7:30 then off to Dancing ledge. We managed about 6/7 bream but all small. I would guess the largest was one which fell to me and was probably 1lb. Jim had a couple of strap congers we all had dogfish. As the tide changed we moved back to ballard where we did didly squat. Spent the last hour in the harbour where we repeated the success we had at Ballard

Just checked nothing there

An old thread about the slipway at Castletown slip

Welcome Derek good advice from those above. An express way to learn is look out for crew offers and take advantage of them. Also be good to see you at a meeting sometime, Oakdale conservative club on the first Tuesday of every month.

No as Charlie said the memory is getting shorter, you'll soon find out whipper snapper

Hmm clowns error, I have an isolator switch that stops the windlass from being used. This is very useful when taking the grandchildren out as they cannot hurt themselves upfront by accidentally touching the operating switches. Hmm would help if I remember to turn off the isolate switch when fishing Ooops

Agreed Jerry what is actually wrong with the lazy, apparently inactive sifca

Just deleted another poster, I will keep an eye on registrations and delete as soon as possible
