Im looking at getting out tomorrow. Im expecting to be somewhere around the Dolphin sands area. Is anyone else about?
Kodiak will be out and about somewhere. Will be on Ch6 as usual
Reel Magic will be out targeting something with teeth
We made our way to the 6 mile banks and found congers, dogs, gurnard and a solitary toothy one of 13lb. I lost a heavy ray at the boat.
The water was mirror flat!

I hope that you weighed that Red Gurnard.

Unfortunately I didn't, and I've just seen what the specimen weight is 🤔 !!
Lesson learned i suppose!
That looks great 👍
Where is the 6 mile banks ? Is it marked on navionics or the name of a general area ?
Resisted the obvious reply. Lol

I assume 6 miles has some bearing on it 😁
Area of banks six miles from Poole
In the area you highlighted yesterday.
Any of the banks shown on your photo are worth a shot, especially if you can find fresh bait.
The extra scent will bring them to you, if you have to use frozen bait it may take longer. And sometimes groundbait helps.
Best way to learn would be to crew with someone, when they have space.
