When is someone going to point out to the MMO that the area that is most popular for anchoring currently, has the most amount of sea grass (per their survey), and the area of ‘historic’ sea grass (e.g. none there now…) is the least popular of the anchoring spots (the bit in the yellow & red dots)….
Out of interest, what is the benefit of using a longer section of warp? That looks to be about 4ft? I have been using about a 3 inch strop to connect the carabiner / ring to the buoy, so wondering if I’m missing a trick….
I brought a smaller (55 I think) igloo cool box this summer and have been relatively pleased with it for the price - seems to do the job for at least 2 days food. (Yeti / Icytek would have been great, but $$$$$….). Worth checking which igloo models have insulated lids also…. Mine did not, so had to modify it with some spray foam.
We tried Poole patch on the Saturday, but it was very lumpy with that easterly and we were getting no bites. Moved over to Ballard down and anchored a few different spots. Had about 15 bream between two of us, and two wrasse. As others had, a small selection of bream with only one within legal size probably.

Hi All,
It’s been a while since I posted here (or on any forum!), and a while since I’ve been out fishing! I’ve recently moved back to Poole, so looking forward to getting out in the summer and remembering how to catch a fish again! Hopefully see some of you on the water.
