Only counting fish on the day, we had so many snakes of all sizes that we moved off one mark just to get away from them! They must have followed us around as we had loads from the next mark too but it did yield one good cod. Lots of big Pout to just under 2lb too, no Whiting which was a bit of suprise.
One of Matts friends asked for a conger to eat, we selected one of 35lb or so to present them with <img src="/emoticons/default_biggrin.png" alt=":D" data-emoticon="" srcset="/emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />, I don't think they will ever ask for another...
Great day out really, action all day.
Err apologies to Alan, the fish weighed 18-8 not 16-8 as I had entered, the text on the photo was correct.

About 10 good sized Whiting, some good sized Pout and some Doggies for Chris ( Kingfisher )

Cordless Drill, Ratchet spanner and a Mig welder for me ! <img src="/emoticons/default_biggrin.png" alt=":D" data-emoticon="" srcset="/emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />
No seriously, I had two good Whiting, some pout, some doggies and a small Conger.
No Cod on our boat.

The day was a bit pants for us. First chosen mark was about 5 miles offshore but apart from 1 conger it was barren. Moved inshore to a bank not a touch another move onto the Dolphin sands which produced a few dogs and a 7lb thornback ray for dean. That was our only weighable fish. Dean had a bit of an accident falling over and breaking his Kenzaki 20-30 <img src="/emoticons/default_ohmy.png" alt=":o" data-emoticon="1" srcset="/emoticons/ohmy@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20"> it had only been used twice he is understandably gutted....wonder what he would like for Christmas <img src="/emoticons/default_ph34r.png" alt=":ph34r:" data-emoticon="1" srcset="/emoticons/ph34r@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">
I decided to avoid the car park and the deeper water marks due to the tide
We enjoyed a good day fishing in 90ft, lots of dogs and quite a few whiting and conger.
I managed a Small eyed ray of 5lb 10oz
Will had a couple of really good fish giving him some serious stick, before they managed to get off his pennel hooks in mid water.
We can never be sure what that was.
Lots of marks on the sounder mid water, but as the whiting had sprats in them I expect they were the cause
No winners for us today, but no dramas ether
Nice day out there today.
A 7lb 8oz cod for Jacob first ever cod well chuffed.
Little bugger out fished Mick and me again, good day in all congers pout and some nice whiting for the table o and so many dogs I lost count

Biggest hook up we had was a hook into Stu,s finger!
A 1lb weight fell over the side causing the following hook to embed in his index finger and the bouncing weight making sure it was well in!
I cut the hook in two and tried with a pair of pliers to get it out, no chance.
Ended up dropping him on the quay and he jumped in a cab to A&E, all sorted and a couple of boxes of antibiotics for his trouble.
Well done Poole Hospital.
Cheers Jim for a good day out, just short on quality fish next time hopefully.

Ouch !!! Its all happening today, mini subs towing boats, hooks in fingers, broken rods, Whats next!!!!!
After our recent success Alfie & I were pleased to accompany Neal on Court Jester. A not too early start saw us on a mark a few miles south of Old Harry and big baits went straight down. I immediately brought up a tiny 1lb 2oz spotted ray - Neal was over the moon.
A couple of dogs followed until it was time to re-anchor the mark whern the tide changed. We had a very long quiet spell while the tide raced through, causing us to let out more anchor warp. At last the tide eased and Alfie had a proper bite and the target species landed on the deck - 15lb 5oz.
Renewed interest on the boat saw baits changed resulting in a conger for me and a strap for Alfie.
5pm we were back at Cobbs. Another successful day - thanks Neal.
