Leicester Fisheagle

Looks like a great day commiserations on your lost fish some fantastic photos and memories. Allan.

Looking at the weather and with what was said at the Thursday Meeting I have advised my crew that is unlikely to take place as he was travelling down from Bedford. Unfortunately, I will not be out this weekend. Allan.

Ditto plus a few other items as well that I would not find locally. Website certainly worth a look at if you make your own rigs. Lots of the items are available elsewhere but its one of the few places where they are available together. Allan.

Well done on your species. We went round to the Dancing ledge area with Yann and Frank where we managed one bream all day. Numerous pouting (20plus) and around 25 dogs and one small conger. Tried the ebb and the flood and several different spots. Spoke to a Poole Charter off the ledge who was there for several hours before us. They had managed two dogs. Dave Lynes was also round there for at least several hours and said they had no bream.. Joined mid morning till mid afternoon by Rossi G with Graham and crew again we believe they had some dogs but no bream. Tried several spots on the run back but only pout and dogs Where are the bream? For anyone fishing the Dancing Ledge Area I have put a warning in another section. Allan.

Happy Birthday Dave, hope we can get you plenty of fish to christen your new rod on Thursday. Allan.

Well done Nigel. She looked great as she shot past. Frank commented on how clean the bottom of the hull looked as you did a 180 degree turn at close to warp speed! A superb new toy and first time out the species count looks impressive at this rate you will soon be back up there.

Will probably be out with Frank and Yann as crew for an early session finishing about 1 o'clock in the afternoon or before if it kicks up. Bream have come from both Southbourne and the Patch to Charters. Understand that some Mackies and Gars are also around and heard a report of a 23lb Turbot in a net last week about a mile out in the Bay so I am quite hopefull if the weather holds. Will listen out on Ch6. Allan.

Thanks for letting me know Dave. Have a good time in Wales. Hope we both get good weather. Allan.

That sounds great Mike. Is there an assumption that my species count will go up because of the crews fishing expertise or because I will be getting out more? You must be really fed up with the new bridge. Tried a trial tie up on the new mooring area a week or so ago to see what was involved, there were some potentially dangerous bits of metal that could cause damage and I would not liked to have tried it on my own with the tide running. Frank, who was crewing, virtually had to step out of the boat onto the basin wall fenders in order to get a mooring rope onto anything substantial which was one of the back posts that the floats slide up and down on. May have missed something, but no rings or bollards or obvious things to tie onto. An accident waiting to happen. Will exchange contact details at the next meeting. Allan.

Looks like I need to buy a bigger boat and supply free tackle and bait. Allan.

Start again Sunday 6th May - new date for species comp - if this drought ever goes away! 1) Neal Sturt 2)Allan Green on Kind of Magic with Bill (Ferret) and hopefully Dave Samuels.

For once I probably have crew available and that means the chances of getting out are remote. Hope I am proved wrong. Allan.

I am fortunate enough to have several excellent Crew Members who come out on Kind of Magic. However, several are likely to be less available in the near future due to increased work commitments. I cannot promise the 5 star luxury or Michelin Star cuisine offered on some of the larger boats, but we can manage some friendly banter, a reasonable variety of fish and hot water. In the unlikely event of the fishing being slack there may even be time to make a hot bacon sandwhich from time to time. Boat based on a pontoon at Cobbs in Poole. Crew wanted for weekends, during the week and possible evenings when the nights get longer. Please PM, email or post here. Allan.

1) Neal Sturt 2) Nigel Allen 3) Kind of Magic with Allan Green, Dave Samuels and Bill Smith.

Will probably be out on Thursday in the Swash trying for a few spotties. May try to the west over the weekend if I have crew.On Ch6. Allan.

Signed souvenir pieces of Poole Bridge Tarmac available for sale. Choice of colours-blue or black. Please contact Poole Council.

Surplus to requirements. Unopened and as bought due to boat change last year. 2.5 litres of Interspeed Ultra green and 750mls of Primacon grey. Accept

Have a great one Martin. Perhaps a birthday Cod at the weekend? Allan.

Lovely picture of Nigel's Cod of 30Lb 4oz. It looks enormous! One half that size would do me for this year. Allan.

Hoping to be out on Wednesday in the Swanage area. Sorry to hear about your back Nige you have my every sympathy. Hope you soon get back to normal. Allan.

Well done Nigel and crew. You seem to get them when others don't. Another fantastic report which makes me want to get out ASAP. Allan.

Thanks everyone. Yes, a contribution to next year's mooring fees has already being sought. Alun, only if it is posponed, I'm sure everthing you kindly bought for the Hamper will have a good sell /eat (or drink) by date. Allan.

Had planned to fish with Rich on his boat Warren. However I was rammed from behind by a 4x4 when waiting at a round about.The wife's car is a write off and I have a bad back so no fishing of any kind for the moment. Should give others a better chance. Will try and get to the weigh in. Allan.

Kind of Magic will to be out, subject to weather, likely to be the Slates Area. Allan.

So we can still count a pipefish if we get one? Allan.
