We left Cobbs for the 8:30 bridge and spotted a few other likely candidates sneaking out to find some Rays. The wind was stronger than expected pushing a four and as the morning went by so the wind against tide built the sea up to a sloppy mess. As the tide eased the sea state improved then when the tide changed the wind dropped right off leaving us with a reasonable beautiful sunny afternoon Our day was a day of 2 halves. We headed out to a bank that has thrown up various ray along with other species in the past. The hook was set and first drop I was into a bream of 3lb 3oz. That was followed by a small blonde ray to Dean of around 7.5lb we had four or five more blondes until the tide eased. Largest went to me at 14.8oz with deans largest being 11lb 8oz. As well as the blondes we had 2 decent Bream pollock and pout. Funny thing is that pm after the tide had ease we never had a bite. It was great to be out and although not manic on the fishing front I thoroughly enjoyed the day and am now fired up and can't wait to our next trip out.

Greg passed on the hats for Daniel Macey Liberty and Phoebe today. I will pass them on and I'm sure they will be pleased as punch. Thanks for your efforts mate the club really appreciate you taking on the junior comp organising

Our day was similar to Charlie's. We set out on the 8:30 bridge and headed out the harbour with no set plans. Decided it was to sloppy to go offshore so headed down towards Southbourne. Passed Charlie off of Boscombe pier and kept going down to double dykes. First drop a plaice we ended up with about 10 but all small. Charlie joined us after a couple of hours but all went quite for an hour or so then like a tap the Gurnard switched on but no more plaice. We went over to the end of the swash for the last hour and had doggies and a smooth hound. Came in for the 4:30 bridge. As the weather had settled down a little we used the fly bridge coming in what a difference in outlook I lke it a lot.

Forecast slightly worse now so will probably only do inshore stuff. Anyone else out?

Same as him above although not completely set up yet

Dean and I are going out on sunday and have room for one other crew member. Not sure what we will target yet but at least we will be out fishing and the forecast seems ok at N/E 3-4 If interested get in touch in the normal manner, post here pm or phone

I reckon he has one of them as her hand is like a bucket

Depends how you paid. I think you will find if you paid by credit card you may be able to claim back through them?

After November? (not sure of exact date ) you are allowed to catch bass so I would guess lures would be permitted

Happy birthday Paul

Welcome to the club, I will upgrade your forum status when I return or maybe if Oli spots this he may do it for me

Happy birthday Mick
