Charlie, Mark and I are venturing out on Nipper.......hoping for cod bass bullies pout gars macky scad lsd turbot brill wrasse and maybe a late smoothy....a few rays........then we'll wake up.

Rich

Thanks for the reminder Charlie

Dean and I will be fishing out of Poole

Anyone else out give us a call on ch6

Martin

Not sure if I have the right part of the forum but just to let all that need to know

Gordon Moore & Alun J out of Mudeford at 7.00am tomorrow

Frisky will be out of Poole, fishing from 8 till 3, with Carol, George and I on board.

Depending on conditions, anywhere from Whitehouse Grounds to Southbourne Rough, though will probably stay close to reduce travelling times.

Have this theory that a whole squid might find bass, rays or cod....

A second theory suggests mackerel for gars. scad and pollack.

The final theory is that the only the ragworm will catch, and then only black goby, long-spined sea-scorpion, and tompot blennies, all of which will be ineligible....

Hope to see a few others out there!

Mike

PS Wot, no herring on the specimen list?????

Will be fishing out of Christchurch with new member Richard Stevens ( Rich on here ).

Hoping to get the 4 mullet, wrasse, bass, pollack, scad, mackeral before turning to the 4 whiting and 4 cod

See you at the rock Mike ( as no doubt will Gordon as well ).

Bring it on "Loyal Royal"

Heard on the news tonight that Weymouth Harbour was closed due to an unexploded bomb being found!

Wonder if it will be open tommorrow?

Coddy

cheers andy

Heard on the news tonight that Weymouth Harbour was closed due to an unexploded bomb being found! 

May be a complete coincidence but on Friday I saw two different bomb squad land rovers on the A34 heading West. Can't remember the last time I saw two in the same year

W

Can't wait for the fish reports

i know it was generally slow but there were a couple of cracking fish caught

PJ

a good day out in beautifull weather only one good bass about five pounds, mackeral,pollock and pouting.

cheers andy

Dire day today but still enjoyable. No wind, flat as a pancake but the fish didnt want to play.

4 dogfish ( amongst around 40 odd ), 1 whiting, 2 scad

I know Enticer fared better and my theory is further offshore is the answer due to all the rain we have had recently.

We tried a few marks, and Frisky spent far too long travelling again. We tried in the harbour, waving to a few speedier members including Maverick and Coddy, the Poole Patches (where we think there might still be trace-crunching trigger fish), and a couple of deeper water marks off Swanage, including the Whitehouse Grounds, in the slack tides.

George had his best ever comp with 3 spotted ray, including a PB of 4lb 8oz, wrasse, a doggy and a single late bream.

Carol had 7 wrasse, a solitary pollack, two bream to prove it wasn't a fluke, including a beautifully marked male fish of just under a pound, her first spotted ray of 3lb, and 3 doggies.

I managed wrasse, pollack, another spotted ray, a small pack of doggies and a lone bass in nearly 90' of water. I won't mention my magnificent black goby, or the fact that it was disallowed.

Gorgeous day out, despite having been spined more times than I care to mention.

Mike

PS Charlie, the forms have been submitted!

Mark and I sneaked out of Weymouth today, heading for the Harbour, tally's are as follows:

Mark.

4 Mackeral

4 LSD

3 Pollock

2 Bream

4 Garfish

1 Pout

1 Bass

4 Wrasse (including a magnificent Cuckoo of 1lb 2 oz For the book please Charlie)

4 Scad

Rich.

4 Mackeral

1 LSD

4 Pollock

1 Bream

4 Garfish

1 Bass

4 Wrasse

4 Scad

Considering that the Pollock mackeral Bass Gars Wrasse and scad came in the first hour and a half, I think we did pretty poorly!! Local knowledge certainly paid off on this comp, we both thoroughly enoyed it.

Rich

Glad a few more boats and Members were out enjoying the weather

9 boats this time at least

I await the score sheets

Only one so far so its 108 to beat

Cheers Charlie
