Dave asked me to say that we had four fish between us from 9.30 am. To 2 pm. What he asked me not to say was that one of us on the boat caught no fish.
My best was 2lbs. 7ozs. The others were around 8 ozs. Some of the crabs weighed almost as much. At one stage to break the bordom, we were trying to see how many crabs we could land in one go and listening to the Ch16 call about a boat on rocks in Swanage Bay.
Don't think other club boats out there fared much better. Frank Morris said he and Jan had two, one around 8 ozs and Jan one of 3 lbs 4ozs. We thought it was a wind up so we asked tbem to send us a picture, but we are still waiting.
That's it, Flounder Gear now stored away 'till next year and replaced by something sronger if this Tuesday's forcast holds.

....and it went back.
We headed out from Rockley and dropped anchor just around the corner and managed nothing but crabs. there was another small boat just down from us and we could here them trying to start there engine. I tried to call them on the Radio to see if they where ok but no answer on any channel. About 5 mins later they start shouting to us and waving. We up anchor and go over and see them turns out there engine had packed up so we gave them a tow back to Rockley boat yard and knocked it on the head fishless after doing our good deed. The early roast dinner was a bonus!
Well done Mike - nice to receive a bonus too.
