 |  Having missed out on last years trip I made this years The weather was great we were out every day we trailed five boats up. the fishing was to say the least poor over six days only three skate were cought 209 lb 196 194 A few years ago we would have had this amount on every boat in a day. even the doggy's were short on the ground a few congers up to 25lb were cought but it was one of the most dire years that anybody can remember. even the maccys were short on the groud you had to seek them out. a disapointing week fish wise but a good time was had. I would advise anybody coming up from the south to look on the wsf site to see if the fishing has improved any. |

| Awols Weymouth experience |
| Replies: 2
| Having had a new windscreen fitted on Friday am we were a little later leaving than the rest of the pack. With the weather being perfect for travelling and others bait fishing we made good time so soon caught everyone else up.
We decided to go straight to the shambles and take our chances on the bait front. We soon got some bait although it was decidedly hard work with both mackerel and launce coming aboard sporadically. First proper drop and Dean was into a turbot of around 4lb. Then...........................nothing. We decided to try Portland race to try for bass. It was a tad lumpy in there and with just one small bass being caught for our efforts. Soon gave up and opted for a last drift on the bank but without any luck. A quick run into Portland harbour wash and brush up then walk into town? for a very nice curry.
Up on Saturday just in time to see Alfresco leave port to plunder those offshore wrecks. We along with most others decided to have a late start so after breakfast and a lot of fiddling about we left for another day on the banks. As there was enough bait left on ice from Friday we started fishing straight away. First drop and Dean is into a small Brill that was about sizable but went back to fight another day. Very slow today with Dean catching a gurnard and a couple of Weavers and that was it. Dean fished as hard as ever I have seen him fish but all to no avail and I blanked, not a blooming fish but still enjoyed the day. The evening gathering at “The Boat that Rocks” restaurant was superb, great food great company and loads of wine made it an evening to remember.
Sunday arrives with our plan being to go 19 miles offshore to some wrecks and hop our way home. The weather was not having any of that with around 3 metre swells and a freshening wind it was decided to go across Weymouth bay and try fishing at dancing ledge however after several chats on the radio to others that were further ahead the decision was made to go to the south west banks. Got there just as the tide was starting to ebb. Hook in baits down but after about 45 mins the hook let go and we were adrift. With the wind now against the strong tide we gave up and cruised back to Poole for an early bath.
To sum up the week end was brilliant. It’s not just about how much or little was caught that make a trip like this it is the whole experience of cruising in company. I think everyone enjoyed themselves and I would like to thank Charlie for organising both the marina berths and the restaurant.
Where are we going to next

| Well - having been let down by my crew (who was also my host as local to Portland), I was disapointed to say the least. However, after some networking and general moaning at the Club BBQ last Sat, word spread and Tony Deavin was lookign for crew and a partnership was made.
So it all began with a very relaxed start and most boats headed out from Poole at around 10am - my starts are usually much earlier than this, so much so I got slightly slowed by commuters, who rude! I am a strng beliver that there should be bus lanes and lanes for people carrying rods!!
Tony and I were swiftly overtaken by AWOL, Alfresco and Abode was already at Peveril.
We looked for bait at Peveril but no luck, so we headed to the 190ft hole off St Albans. here we drifted with Alfresco and Abode as AWOL was already a spec in the distance. After a dozen maccs we left to head for the Shambles. With 30 mins to go on our journey we get a radio call from Alfresco to say AWOL already had a Turbot on board - blimey Tony and I were just eating lunch and could barely see Portland!
Anyhow, Serenity got us safely to the bank where we found several club boats and charters. We had no idea whcih way the drift would go so stopped a good distance from the rest to see which way the drift went. Tackled up and dropped the baits. No more than 15 later Tony was on teh radio with the secret call sign of "Turbot" - no more no less - but any club boats would have known who said that!  Charlie C popped up on the radio to ask who caught it (he knew - twas me!). A nice fish of 4lb ish I guess.
Further down the drift I lost a fish, then we hit low tide - without the need to reposition our flood drift started without us ever leaving the bank - nice one Skipper (luck but we will take that). I then had a screamer of a run which went off at 100mph and my braid mainline went ping on something after 2 seconds of what felt big, tope? probably - need longer leaders I guess as that didn't help save the braid on the bank.
It was then Tony's turn for some action as he quietly waited in the wings! Two Turbos for Tony on the flood drift and that was the end of the day - it was a great first day and a good laugh. We headed for out lodgings in the great Portland Marina - meeting up with Boblin2 in the harbour - did a little photoshoot for them before finding the others.
So we had a mooch around the other boats and a chin wag, odd beer and a laugh before going for a nice curry with Bblin2, AWOL, Serenity (me and TD), Just Purfik's crew and better halves were in the curry house too!
An early awakening by Mr Jenning at some silly hour woke us but was managed to kip until 8. Had a good feed then set off to the bank with Boblin2 in tow.
We started with a few drifts for maccy and found the quickly - Colin was getting to grips with the lovely Boblin2 and building his confidence in handling her (he has mastered it now after surfing and crashing through St Albans on the way home!). Tony and I fished hard all day and were rewarded with 4 fish (a dozen weavers don't count!), not the greates toll as we had had 3 fishing for just the afternoon on the Friday! However, Tony had a loevely Brill of 4lb 10oz and we had a Turbot each (mine was returned for me to catch at a later date), my other catch was a PB Plaice of 5lb 11oz - yes 5lb 11oz! What a lunker - caught on a Turbo bait (whole Launce) - how it fitted it in I don't know! (the mouth of a 1lb Turbot is bigger that this Plaice's!).
Thanks to Bob's membership cards I was quickly able to verify that I hadn't caught a club record, but hey - good eating!!!
Saturday night was a cracker - 8 boats, about 25 people for the meal in the restaurant, in the whole a jolly good laugh. Same no trailered boats made the trip - I am hoping to perhaps take JoJo next time? September?
Sat night \ Sunday morning was very blowy - not good, so the following swell ended up ruining the day really - lumpy all the way back, few maccy from Kimmeridge and a bass drift at teh SW banks. Nothing but a wave over the cabin of Serenity! After surfing round Durlston was made it back to the calm waters of Poole Bay - like a different day round there!
Great few days, great fishing, great company, great club.
I think I may have used all my banked fising passes for some time, however, watch this space!!!!!

| A report with a differance! |
| Replies: 2
| What a great weekend! One of the most enjoyable trips out on JV.... and with hardly a fish caught! 'How?' you may ask.... well Rach and I decided to have a short break away on the boat and join in with the Weymouth weekend excellently organised by Charlie.
The plan for us was simple - no rods (well maybe the odd sneaky one!) no fishing, just crusing and chillin'! 
Reub was at grandparents, the sun was shining and the cooler full of cold beer, wine and food and JV was full of fuel! Off we go!
First stop was round to Studland to meet up with a few non-club, non-fishing friends and also to drop into the Aquapalooja that Parkstone Bay Marina and Tom Bettle had organised - awesome is all I can say, just a shame it clashed with other plans.... around 30 boats all rafted together close in at Studland - lashings of beer, wine and soft drinks, jugs of Pimms, lovely food, a BBQ, games for the kids and a great atmosphere... very, very good! After a couple of cold Magners and a bite to eat we waved farewell and poked JV West...
.... Next stop was Chapman's Pool - Rach took us there and LOVED driving the boat - boy, this was already a great weekend and we had only been on the water 3 hours! Round at Chapmans Pool the sun shone brightly, we were well sheltered from the gentle breeze and as we approached you could easily have been in Maritius - the Purbecks towered above us with a shroud of mist above them and the water glistened a clear turquoise colour.... heaven - we had the Pool to ourselves, so in went the lunch pick... and that's when the dream of the tropics ended.... as we jumped in!!!   was a tad cold!... but great fun!
After a sneaky fish and a bucket of fat mackerel to 'pay' the babysitters - we cleaned up and steamed West to Portland Marina to meet up with the rest.
In the marina at 6pm, and BOY! what a marina this is.... truely superb. The facilities at A1 - around 20 shower units and toilets, all in stone and frosted glass. A first class resturant, marina office and numerous shops.
We had a lovely meal in lovely company..... all I'll say is that the girls made us boys look VERY restrained on our Alderney trip! I'll never be able to look at some members in the same light again!! 
After much merriment and wine we retired to the boats for a restful night in the sheltered marina tied alongside.
For Rach and I we needed to get back, so first away at 9.30am and for a change we had wind and tide on our side all the way back - sat at 20 knots we cruised in the morning Sun, and all too quickly were washing down back in the marina. 60 miles covered and 70L of fuel - £20 to moor for the night and £20 per head for a 3 course meal - all in all it couldnt have been a better weekend.
For me it's shown that it's not all about the fishing - we didnt rush, we had no pressure on catching and had tons of fun with great friends. I'm fully intending to include a few of these days into the competition calander for 2011 - not as comps but as pre-set dates to get away and do it all again.
Cheers to Charlie for your hard work planning and booking the trip and for the other members for making it a great trip!

| Slightly lumpy Thursday |
| Replies: 1

Been spending a fair amount of time on the water in the last couple of weeks - giving AJ a run for his money on od hours!!!
After Wednesdays Bass sucess on JV I had a friend visiting who wanted to go fishing Thursday - hard life!
We had a late start and launched ay 9:30 ish to find AJ out on his favourite location!
However - small Maccy were hard to come by and monster eaters were easy - we just used one rod for feathers and we couldn't not catch - great fun and my guest really enjoyed it.
We then settled down to some Bass fishing and had a really good run on a live bait - it ran and ran - I passed the rod to my crew and said to drop in to gear and hit it - the fish was on, the bend was good then nothing - Mr Spikey had let go!! On retreiving of the gear Mr Spikey wanted more and hit the bait on the surface near the boat, like a dog with a toy it shook teh bait - but alas it then saw us and made a quick exit!
Well - that was it on the Bass front, but at least we know how big the one that got away was - I would say 6lb+
We headed in for a picnic on the beach with the wives and kids - glorious weather though a little hazy and choppy - then back in to fillet the mackerel and home for dinner and family time.
Oh - Weymouth next weekend - excellent!!!

| Last of the summer Cod? |
| Replies: 4
| I had decided to take imagine out in search of the Cod on Friday, forecast looking good even from as far away as Monday! Despite posting for a buddy boat, no-one responded on the forum ??? and with just Gordon H, Jon (aka Jay Kay) and Myself we reduced to one boat and set out from Poole on the last of the ebb, slightly behind the Alderney boats, at just before 0700hrs.
The plan was to fish a mid way wreck before going to the channel grounds, as low water was expected an hour after LW Poole- about 0930, and we wanted to arrive at the grounds with at least some tide....
What had started as a lovely sunny blue sky zero wind type of morning at -0600 quickly deteriorated into a north easterly F3 and we wallowed and bounced our way out via swanage stopping for a few hairy drifts for bait across peveril to no avail.  
Forecast was wind to drop after 10.00hrs which it did, but we still found it a bit lumpy even across the dumphries. We saw one charter who stopped up tide of us near the wreck, but this was the last boat we saw all day!!! He obviously was going elsewhere probably rust hopping.... nothing doing on the Dumphries despite being right over the wreck and plenty of fish showing on the sounder... The tide got going fairly quicly so we then went onto our intended drift on the cod banks...
We persevered for a couple of hours here, with Gordon being the top gun on bottom features... but no rocks had the right marine life on it, so after a number of fishless drifts we headed off to the pinnacles....
More interesting features here, plus a few overfalls... and a few drifts produced just one Pollack to Gordon - but welcome nevertheless.. Then off to another spot which had produced in the past.. and by now the wind had eased to zilch so a lovely afternoon and a few beers to wash down the last of the lunch.
Then almost at the end of the afternoon, but not late enough to qualify for the 48 hour competition... a GOOD pull from the bottom, and a fish which felt much heavier than its weight, which stayed deep for a good while.
But that was the only one, and the absence of any other boats, except channel coasters confirmed our thoughts that it might be the last of the Cod from these banks...
Our return trip was un-eventful on a smooth sea, until we reached 10miles out, then the ebb kicked up a short chop, which disappeared entering the swash.
An enjoyable day out with some new faces, and some old... a long way to go for only the one Cod, but better than toiling away at work....
Thanks to Jon and Gordon for crewing... for the good company, and opportunity to go and fish this area again.
Maybe next time.....we'll have more luck...

| Smutty night at Tanners Lane(Lymington) |
| Replies: 8
| I decided to have a go for Smooth hounds a few days back so PM'd and texted a few people to see if they were free Tuesday night,a few had to work or had other commitments.
Milo (Mike) and Coombseye1 (Mark) had said they could make it.
Mark hadn't been out since last year because of work commitments and he has never caught a smooth hound so was looking forward to maybe catching one
All day yesterday the wind was getting stronger and I was in two minds weather to go or not.But it was off shore and as long as it stayed that way we would be ok.
Mark came round to my house at about 7pm and we had arranged to meet Mike at the waters edge which was about a 45 minute drive.
Got to Tanners at around 8pm,the wind had dropped right off and the tide was just starting to flood.
We quickly set up and paddled out to the first set of Buoys the wind was strong as we lost the shelter of the mainland and was wind against tide,so it wasn't very comfortable fishing.
Down went my bait and within 5 minutes I had my first fish and also my personal best common Smooth hound of 14lb 6oz ;D It was 3' 11" long
A few minutes later Mike was playing a nice fish in which turned out to be a bass of about 3.5lb.
Mark had a few runs from Smutts but they kept dropping the bait.
Finally he did connect with one and is shown in the video at the bottom of this report.
We managed about an hour fishing then the weed got bad so we moved closer inshore but had no more bites.
It looks like the best time is in daylight and also dusk.Once darkness had fallen it went quiet.
I did manage a nice Bass just as it got dark though ;D
We will give it another go next week on neap tides and a hight at around 8pm.

| Cape Cod |
| Replies: 13
| Had a great time in Cape Cod fishing for Striped Bass and Bluefish on the fly and plugging rods.
The majority of this was from shore but the natives were so friendly we even blagged a couple of boat trips.
We worked very hard fishing at dawn (3:30am) and again at dusk until late so sleep was minimal.
It paid off with double figure Striped Bass and Bluefish to 9lbs - more info later, heres a few pics
