Leicester Fisheagle

Hope the outcome is satifactory. She is superb boat and probably has a higher specification than any other in the UK. If you are ever down this way, you will always be welcome out on mine. Good Luck. Allan.

The other ID feature is the pre opercular spine which is like as single spine before the gill cover ( operculum). It can just be made out on the picture.

The weather window held and Dave and myself headed to a deep water mark for some late season bream. Fish were plentiful and averaged between two and two and a half pounds. We had hoped for a few larger ones, but it didn't happen. Two keepers kept and all others returned, so a good start. Then a few miles nearer to Poole. Dave had said he wanted to catch a small eye for his person species tally. The fish soon obliged with one each. A few mackeral had shown at both marks with the odd full string. Some reasonable fish, but lots of small ones. Having got Dave's rays, it was now my turn with a couple of new species for the boat. Namely, a grey gurnard and a humble dab. I hope the distinctive black spot on the first dorsal fin of the grey gurnard shows in the photo. A solitary plaice, a garfish, some small bream and lots of dogs until the pack tope arrived and the fishing died. A few drifts on the way home produced several undersized bass and some sizeable plaice for both of us with two being kept. A few wrasse, gobies and other bits and bobs while waiting for the bridges gave us16 species on day which was not intended as a species hunt.

Well done on the sale. It really does take off the pressure. They new boat looked great.

Raft now sold.

Several members are interested, Oli has first reserve over the weekend pending measurements.

SOLD 4 person canister Offshore Liferaft for sale. The first 3 year service was carried out by Seago on the 12/05/15 so there are almost 2 years left before the next 3 year service is due. According to the Fource Four Catalogue, they should be good for up to 12 years, so it has plenty of life left. The cost new is shown at £649. Will accept £300. Can arrange free local delivery or collect from Broadstone, Poole. Please pm if interested. Allan.

Happy Birhday Charlie. Hope you have a great day. Maybe a bit of fishing?
