Maverick Martin

Rich I feel all faint Cheers the feeling is mutual I can assure you. And your right its a cool place to learn Martin

Duncan If it is the mark that most of the older club members know as banks then the shallowest part I have found is 56' at low water. I usually motor uptide of the peak say 100 metres and drop my anchor then allow enough warp out so that the top of the bank is lying just behind the boat. You can easily do this by watching your sounder and noting the depth. The idea then is to trot you end tackle back behind (downtide of) the bank as described by Mike. This should work for some species i.e rays flatfish etc (if they are present) but others such as bass, Pollack may be in other areas of the bank. When the tide turns re-anchor and do it the other way. Some banks fish better on the ebb or flood To be fair this particular set of banks used to fish really well but recent years they seem to be devoid of life other than doggies and the odd ray and occasional bass. I would be pleased if anyone can tell me otherwise as it is an easy mark to anchor and fish. By the way it

Ventured out with Dean on Maverick. The weather was okish, clear skies, sunshine but with a cold stiffish force 4/5 northerly blowing. Sea state Moderate which made it interesting standing up at times. Anyhow with the sea following us it was a comfortable ride out. Because of the large tides we decided to stay fairly close in. We decided to go to the old spoil grounds approximately 2.5 miles off of Old Harry. A boat was already there so we looked around for a fishy looking spot and dropped the hook. small Whiting and dogs the only result for our efforts. The tide picked up then our anchor gave up its hold so we considered that an opportune time to make a move. We steamed North east just watching the sounder to try and find a new bit of ground, up came a bank on the sounder so after a quick look around it we decided to give this lump a go. Well it fished really slow only giving up two Bass around 3lb each (on 6/0 pennel rigs loaded with half a dozen squid) plus a couple of dogs. A shame really as it did look very fishy, we will be giving this spot another go when weather dictates we can't get out to far. At around 4pm we decided enough was enough and made a move in which was a little bumpy punching into those white tops, but the sea soon flattened as we got under the lea. All in all a slow day but still better than trying to earn brownie points Martin

Nice one Bob as James says its so much easier to see how they are done with moving pics excellent Martin

You can attach any file that is on your pc so, if you find a photo or have a line drawing it can be scanned into your pc and tehn loaded as an attachment, same as you do for pics from your camera?

Alan I used to use Baiter slip regularly when I had a Hardy 17. On average we could launch and retrieve an hour either side of low water, perhaps and hour and a half on larger tides. As your boat is a similar weight to the hardy I would say the same rule would apply. If its not correct you will not have to wait long as Mike has stated the wet stuff comes in pretty quickly. I now have a larger boat and although I can launch and retrieve it at baiter I find Cobbs a much easier slip to use. On this slip as Mike has said I don

Hello Rose and welcome to pbsbac.co.uk. forum Did you fish last Thursday and if so how did you get on Martin

Those of you that were at the meeting last week will have heard of the egm of the NFSA that has been called. This has been brought about because of the restrictive nature of the rules of the NFSA and their unwillingness to recognise the need for change from within. Six sea angling clubs from the Bournemouth and Poole areas have called this Extraordinary General Meeting of the NFSA, to be held at their Head Office at Buckfastleigh on Saturday 29th January 2005 to determine the way forward. If you care about our sport, please read the attached letter and pledge your support either in person or via a proxy vote. If you are not a member, but would like to become one, and recognise the need for modernisation, join the NFSA now so that you will then be eligible to vote on this important issue.
