Point in the East to Portland Bill in the West.
We hold regular club meetings, competitions, social events and an annual
open boat competition usually held during November. Club meetings are
held on the first Thursday of every month at the Parkstone Trades and

 | After a morning cleaning and tidying Sea Dream - Cabin Boy at his most efficient - conditions eased sufficient for us to take to the water. A fruitless hour in Holes Bay and a similar half hour in the main channel was followed by success??? near the castle when Brian brought up a long spined sea scorpion.

 A pout was our only other success. (Late ammendment - being truthful I forgot a small pollock and a good brown crab that had a lucky escape.) Another good spell afloat - and we didn't make the boat too dirty either. |

 | In the interest of posting real fishing than just the red letter days a short report about yesterday.
Fished from 10-1 at the same spot where we had a good day on Saturday, arrived at slack and quickly caught enough whiting for tea and then not alot else when the tide started to flow. A couple of conger, some dogs and pout and that was it. No big bites that we didn't hit.
There wasn't a lot of tide about (flood was due to run from 10 - 5 and it wasn't a big tide anyway).
Still the sea was nearly flat and it didn't rain and it was nice to get out, something we won't be doing for a week or so looking at the forecasts.
Roll on Spring.... |

 | A recent trip out with Jamie, aboard his boat 'Big Wednesday' with his dad joining us aswell saw us heading to Dolphin Sands in a big tide. Dropped the anchor and found ourselves drfting as the pick wouldnt hild. We put more rope out which did the trick. After finally settling in and 2lb of lead used to hold bottom we eventually started to catch a few fish. Jamies dad landed the smallest conger ever about 4-5lb before a few dogs kept us busy. As the tide slacked at high water i dropped down some baited feathers tipped with slivers of macky found the whiting straight away. A few nice ones....and a bumper 4lber graced the boat. Next drop a nice 4lb bass finds the feathers followed soon after by another good bass of 8lb. A few more whiting and pout...and obligatory dogs later found the tide turn and ebb quickly. 2lb of lead now not holding so we headed back to base. All fish returned to fight another day. Great boat and nice winter sunshine in good company. Thanks Jamie & co.

 | A couple of trips off the IoW |

 | Friday saw me on my own fishing for a couple of hours, fairly quiet and ended up with a cod 10lb and a load of decent whiting.
Trip two today with my brother saw a 9 o'clock anchor down in reasonable conditions. Missed a bite within 15 mins, then opened with a 20 ish conger, whilst this was coming up my brother had a tug which resulted in a 13lb cod. Good start.
30 mins later another bite and after a bit of hauling up comes a 15lb cod, better.
30 mins later another take which runs off then nods a bit, I was thinking small cod or big whiting when up pops a bass and not a bad size, 9lb it weighed and in spanking condition, it went back to continue growing.
Finished the day with a fair sprinkling of whiting up to about 3lb.
So a good day was had by all.
And Nigel, all caught on your cuttlefish! |

 | Just to protect my reputation the calmunious report of me being knackered after 5 minutes of tussling with a big blonde are much exagerated - I could go on for Hours !!!

 | First trip out of 2012 |

 | Having been watching the weather reports since Christmas this was the first time that both favourable weather and a quiet day at work coincided so it was off out on the boat for me and my usual crew.
I had decided on a mark before we left but as we neared it we noticed that there were lots of boats in one area a little further on so against my original plan we decided to act like lemmings and follow the pack.
Found a little spot but it was too close to another anchored boat so we motored round a little to see if we could find anything else of interest and decided on a little lump showing on the sonar.
Within minutes my mate was into a small whiting, minutes later it was my turn for a slightly better one then there followed a steady stream of whiting to 2lb 5oz for most of the rest of the afternoon. Once the tide changed my mate hooked the obligatory doggie then as the tide ran stronger I got something a little heavier. Excitedly I told my mate to get the net but was a little disappointed (and surprised) to see a small Blonde Ray of just over 5LB curled up using the tide to make me work to get her up.
Lifted the anchor around 3ish and headed back for home. Was lovely to be out but my sea legs seem to have been left somewhere in 2011 as my tummy was doing some strange things every time I concentrated on anything like tying a knot or untangling a mess.
Was also nice to hear a few other club boats out and hopefully we will get their reports in due course. |

 | Things got off to a bad start, went to Castaways at Hamworthy to get bait, arrived about 8:15, closed, should open at 8:00. He finally turned up at about 8:55. Back home to get everthing on the boat and await Gerry. Just got everthing ready and hitched up when the phone rang, it was Gerry to say that he was stuck in traffic due to the road being closed at Sandford. We finally got launched about 10:30 and decided as we'd lost a lot of fishing time that we would stay in Holes Bay and make the most of what time we had left. I got a really good bite at about 12:00, only to loose it on the way up as the knot failed. (Note to self, check all knots). That was the only bite between us so at 14:30 we decided to head home. It was good to out in the sunshine though. |

 | Who let the dogs out? |

 | First trip out since the end of November, off to the car park.
Very pleasant day with a reasonably small swell and not too much wind or other boats. So that's the good bit over.
Battersea dogs home must have filled up over Christmas because most of them were sitting underneath my boat. I've never had so many and these all on 8/0 pennels and baits bound up tightly with elastic... Half of them had just grabbed the bottom of the bait and wouldn't let go!
Also had the smallest conger that I've ever caught, about 2lb and managed to lose a good fish on the way up although didn't have it on long enough to work out whether is was junior's dad or a noddy.
Still, weather looks to be set fair for the next week, so will be catching up on lost fishing time |

 | Texted Mike Sunday night ,to see if he wanted to see how rough it would be today He was up for it so not expecting much we popped out and inshore not to bad but not nice out further .So dropped the hook a short distance out in 60 ft of water,bites from the start with lots of small pout,dogs,just one whiting to Mike and a couple of poor cod.Nothing hit the big baits and when the unsociable waves made us loose anchor hold we decided it was too rough and headed in,a short stop to try for a flounder but just couldn't drum up any enthusiasm to try hard for them so left them for another day or Mr Jones .Oh well got an early start on the species Nige |
