Update on our comp
I really enjoyed my day onboard 50/50 with Stuart and Will. It was great to be on a differant boat for a change and although windy the weather was nice.
We were to busy to worry about making tea etc so it was a flask and a sarnie box.
After a chat with the JV crew as they waited for the tide we loaded the livebaits into the bait tank, put the kit onboard and sneaked out, stopping at Alfresco to unload a big buff and pick up my light spinning rod.
When we arrived at Brownsea there were plenty of boats so we had a look and managed a few fish.
As the tide eased we started moving about looking for the Bigger Fish, I must say that it does not take long on 50/50 
At the right stage of the tide we stopped to refill the bait tank with a mixture of pout wrasse[all varieties] and pollack
Then back on the hunt
By 1600 we had managed about 20 fish, we kept 4 mostly deep hooked ones about 2-5lb and released plenty
Will best fish 4lb 8oz best released 4lb 8oz
Stuart Best fish 4lb best released 4lb
Charlie best fish 5lb best released about 3lb
on return to PBM it was a slick operation to get the boat out, so slick we had to wash her down ashore.
After discussions and comparisons of prices last week I must say Richard and his lads had this sorted at PBM, and that should also be part of the comparison.
Thanks Will and Stuart for a great day, it reminded me of great trips on my smaller boats and showed that owning a bigger boat does not tick all the boxes.
I hope that others, on other boats on other marks had a good day as well
Well done Rob and Charlie some nice fish from the ledge
and well done on putting the big one back.
You are determined to keep as many of those lures as you can.

Hi Trev, what is a ''pants''fish? is that the same as the one I had on your boat
earlier this week? Captain haddock 
Well done Charlie C
a 5lb fish is a good one and not bad for a conger basher
Sneaked out this morning to check things out, not a fish in sight, on Thursday they were all over the place

Hi Paul
Thanks mate I had a great time, while not my biggest bass of the year, on my
10-30gram spinning rod and small fixed spool it went well.
I usually use that rod for mullet fishing and may yet have another go.
Not sure that I will be hanging up the conger gear though

I would like to thank Adam for a good day out I know Adam was very disappointed with our tally as was all, but it was great to be out and in good company it was also great to learn how to fish the bridge and how to float fish a new experience for me and one I am sure Jackie will enjoy. the 5lb Bass will make supper for the family so no complaints from me.
Ps Adam promised me another trip so a great day for me.
Well done to all who got out to fish the comp and a cracking fish Charlie A.
