Sunday
Jerry, J2, Steve Scott,
Blowing hard in Alderney only wrasse to be found in the harbour, hope weathers better in Blighty!!!
Took the wife fishing, never got past Branksome, very, very lumpy in the stronger than forecast South Easterlies !!!
Retreated to harbour for some relaxing tiddler snatching for us....no bream caught.
I believe Chris and I both had males 1lb 12oz, we had plenty of bream lots in the 1lb 8oz bracket. Did not think we would even be in the reckoning so was not quick to record. Chris to confirm.
Correct Mal, both 1lb 12oz, Blake 14 oz.
Damn and there was me thinking 8oz was gunna take it [emoji1787]

Jan has asked me to post that Frank Morris had a Bream of 1lb 4ozs. and Jan had one of 1lb 14ozs. both caught on Holy Mackeral.
Best for me 1lb 9oz. I did have a somewhat bigger female but as she was heavy with eggs,I put her straight back. Jim kept the dogfish away! 😉

Stuie an I headed for Dancing Ledge after getting the 07.30 Bridges from Cobbs.
Once we had arrived we had a look around and struggled to find fish after a couple of anchor drops.
The going was quite tough with a stiff easterly wind.
We then motored out to past just JV and saw some fish on the echo sounder. Stuie and I were both in straight away and constantly catching fish. This is where I caught our best fish weighed in dead on 2lb.
At 1.00PM we headed back to Ballard Down to avoid any possible worsening of the wind and sea state. We settled down at Ballard Down and both Stuie and I were straight back in catching fish again. This time smaller fish but still some kept for the pot.
It was a great Day and the bonus being taught a couple of things by the Master.

Jim and I went out just after 8 and had a rough ride to Dancing Ledge but the day progressed into a really delightful bonus one, glad we stuck with it.
