Bream Comp Results

After an early start, Gastronaught also back in before all the water ran out of Christchurch Harbour. At 3 pm, it was poring out causing some lively conditions over the Bar with the Easterly breeze pushing against it !!

Paul and I had a good day...... esp. in the morning , with a steady stream of fish, fighting well on light tackle in the tideflow. Most went back , with just a few 2 lb size males into the box.

Paul led most of the morning, with one of 2 lb. 1 oz.......but at coffee time [usual effect!], mine screams off and coffee is cold when a big fat female came to the net. Weighed in at 3 lb. 10 oz, photo taken and slipped back in. My next best , a blue boy at 2 lb. 6 oz, wasn't so fortunate !

Hope others did [almost!] as well !!...... lots of boats around us; a few were catching, but they seemed mostly smalll fish. How were things further west ?

Alun.

Although not actually in the competition, I fished just off Swanage bay alongside about 16 other boats, I only managed one bream just over 1 1/2lb but fished an hour or so inside poole harbour while waiting for enough water to get back on the trailor and caught 2 bass, one 5 1/2lb (which is on my plate tonight) and one at 9lb (which went back)

Well done Alun looks like you are in the driving seat.

And well done Graham for returning such a nice Bass never mind I'll get it next week BTW why not join the club proper? it doesn't cost a lot and the benefits are great.

Charlie Annear, Dean and myself went out on Awol today. Fished both the club and Poole Dolphins open but not so lucky in either I'm afraid

First drop for me and a small male bream that got me thinking yesss were in for a good day but not so good, a very slow day largest bream going to Dean at 2lb 9oz with me catching one at 2lb 7oz. Lost a few that felt decent fish but we will never know how big

All in all a very pleasurable day afloat and I'm glad the weather held off to leave us in pleasant sunshine and bearable winds.

Good to hear that PBSBAC had a good showing in the Poole Dolphins open comp results even if Awol didn't get on the score sheet plus a special mention for Jackie the only female scorer and a member of PBSBAC ....well done girl

Serenity went out at 7:30am with myself and Paul Dore and made a leisurely journey to just off Dancing Ledge, and joined the car park

Paul made a rapid start with a Garfish and Dogfish within minutes of arriving.

Everything slowed down then and nothing happened for a couple of hours.

Suddenly my rod bent over and i landed a bream of 2lb 14 oz.

Withe no further action for over an hour we got bored and made our way to Ballad and met Whistler, Peter Russell informed us that it had been fishing well until just before we arrived.

It was very quiet for about another hour and suddenly bream started coming in reasonable numbers, if not very large, and we had a good couple of hours fun before coming home.

We joined the Poole Bream Comp and with reports that further west wasn't fishing!!(somebody lied) - we went to join a few of the club boats in Christchurch Ledge.

Went close to Alun Jones - he who knows where the fish are!

A relatively slow start but after re-anchoring a steady sream of 1 1/2 - 2lb Bream came aboard - all males except one spawning female which went straight back.

Kept a couple each - slipped the rest back to get bigger for next year.

Added a couple of species to the tally - a very nice day out and no lost rods!!!

Jackie had her best ever day. Just the two of us on Abode11 i had three bites all day one turned out to be a spider crab

Jackie had 9 Bream all over 2lb best going to 3.1 1/4 which she took 5th place and bagged a new rod.

Something very wrong, This is the second time ive lost to the females in my house Chelsea two years ago won under fifteens Cobbs comp and Jackie wooped my A"" big time on Sunday. don't think i will ever live this one down

Went out to Ballard a bit later than most but luckily got on to my usual spot and into Bream immediately. Mike had a few before I got going then I had one which led the boat weight for some time. All the bream were around the 2lb mark which was nice. Most went back but we kept four for the pan

When it quietened down we went over to the Patch where I had heard of 3lbers being caught but all that happened was Mike hooking a Starry on his bream gear - went like a train

For the record the best bream of the day were:-

Mike Norman 2lb 8oz

Richard Biggs 2lb 7oz

There must be a rule somewhere that says crew can't better the captain :

There ought to be a rule that states all fish count as caught by the skipper, after all he's the one who put the bait in the right place, by putting the boat there.

I agree

we also fished both comps jim & myself also 2 non members Lee & Paul

We headed west it started ok got a few dogfish

Jim then got a spotted ray 3lb 10oz

then the wind beat the tide so it went dead

re anchored Paul & Lee started to get some bream upto 1lb

but still no bream for Jim & i

the tide started to rip past

so a quick move a little closer in for the last hour

Lee was the first in a bream of 2lb 5oz then Paul got a cracker 3lb 8 1/4 oz

which was the 2nd heavest in the poole dolphins comp

a slow day but a good day

Dave

A cracking day out Dave.

Thanks Mate.

I may not have had any Bream, But I've never had a Dogfish or Spotted Ray before _ so they were " Personal Bests "

And I've caught something this year at last ! ! ! ! !

Don't forget - the Spotted Ray needs to be added to Wight Magic's Species tally.

Hoping to get my bridge back with the new Rod Holders and get Small Fry out there.

Jim

I've never had a Dogfish or Spotted Ray before

Jim, do you not fish on the bottom? Or do you have a cunning scheme to deter Doggies??

I think it's all down to feromones and stuff like that.

( or at least that's the excuse I'm using )

Looks as though I've got a bit of catching up to do on the boat species comp.

Looking on the bright side though, Anyone thinking of joining the club but scared of getting shown up can feel quite safe on that score.
