Here are the results from the Enticer jury......
Gordon Moore ........42 points...... from 2 dogfish; 1 bream; 4 pout and 4 wrasse
Alun Jones.........54 points.... from 3 dogfish; 2 bream; 4 pout ; 1 conger and 1 wrasse.
Not sure now if I have Gordon's score correct [??]......I'll leave him to confirm.
Alun.
Frisky Fox has now hit the water and between us we managed 5 species. Shame it was 2 or 3 apiece.
No threat to the experts, but with a brace of Tub Gurnard and a surprise Turbot from Carol (it was under 2lb and was returned), at least the boat species comp is off to a good start on our first day.

That smile on Sam`s face sums up what fishing should be all about,well done nipper
Rup
What a struggle that was.....................
No matter what we tried or where we went, nothing seemed interested in our baits.
Looks like we would have been better off sat on Poole Patch all day!

Not sure whether Sam enjoyed it somuch when the Wrasse flapped and got us wet shortly after the pic!!! But we named him Wally the Wrasse so that was well funny!!! ![]()
Well done Charlie and Sam
That picture is worth a thousand words.
I still have one of my Sam at about 2 1/2 with his first bass.
Huge grin as he sits with his fish on his lap and his colourful wellies on.
Well worth teaching the kids to fish and giving up some of the serious trips to make sure they enjoy it.
Look what happened to me ![]()
Both boys now well over 6ft tall, so I had to get a bigger boat ![]()

Great to see the young lad with such a smile on his face - he will expect to be catching fish every time out so no problem there then ![]()
The results form Janski II !!!!! ![]()

Mike Norman :- 4 LSD , 1 Whiting. I make that 12 points
Richard Biggs :- 4 LSD , 1 Whiting. Also 12 points
We were both out-fished by the non-member - Mike's son Tony who accrued 24 points
4 LSd, 2 Pout, 1 Whiting.
Sam was so excited about going out that he'd been buzzing around at home all morning- it tired him out!
He fell asleep just after passing the chain ferry, and stayed asleep despite heading over to Poole Patch at 18 knots, with a few leaps off waves.
Not his first fishing trip though. He caught quite a few mackerel last summer. His favourite thing is to catch more than Rob!
Rob's been wondering about fish identification and he thinks this might actually be a Corkwing Wrasse rather than a Ballan Wrasse.
What do you guys think?
Must get a decent fish book and like Charlie C says in his post, must remember to weigh the fish!
Little lad does not seem to be enjoying it. ![]()
