 |  I was out in Poole harbour today (with no rods or bait) trying out my new engine that I recently bought from Wrasster and had a quick chat with some guys in a small boat fishing in the harbour.
They had a 2 1/2lb plaice with them that they had just caught so it would seem they are here already!! |

| Hi guys
Did anyone else see "Britains Really Disgusting Food" BBC 1 10.35 last night (monday).
A bit light hearted but with a strong message about the disgusting waste of fish that we all know is being practiced by commercial fishing boats and the inevitable consequences of this if it is not amended.
I hope this will help to raise public awareness a bit more.
The programme will be on BBC Iplayer shortly!

| An all round day but with cod firmly in mind
Down the harbour at first light to meet a welcoming flat sea, so a quick transit to a spot a bit further off today.
We settled in to fish the last of the flood, myself keeping a variety of tactics on the go with one whiting rig and two for cod, on up & one down. Rupert being the sorta focussed fellow he is, concentrated solely on larger baits for the cod. Lesson one
..after the first two exploding, boggle eyed flobber’s on the whiting rig – there's no point in messing around unless you need bait. The 6lb gear was quickly consigned to the rocket launcher as Rupe bought the second 30lb, by-catch conger to the tender attentions of a ‘T’ bar. My 12 lb gear was very soon deployed.
The flood got going with far more promise of a cod – a bit more flow than predicted and well settled on the anchor. A procession of conger kept us constantly on the go with hardly time to prepare yet another bait and pour a coffee before the next bite grabbed your attention. Mid session the tension and the anticipation was growing. The tide seemed to be perfect and as I prattled about with my gear trying to change rigs with cold, squidley hands, Rupe has gone all quiet and businesslike. Then the words you really want to hear………… “Eeer can you get the net?” That’ll be a cod then………. and a plump little chap at about 7lbs too. The tide continued with plenty of real cracking sport with congers going from the odd strap around 20lbs to 45lb +. Again punctuations with other fish - a nice Pollock of 8lbs and a whiting near 3lb (flobbers don’t count). Both Rupe and I had our fair share of dropped fish, sadly one each were defiantly good cod including a terrific tussle for 3-4 minute with my ‘not-to-be PB’  . I promptly followed that with a conger that beat me up so badly, I don’t think I got more than 3 turns on the reel and after loosing 40 metres, we parted. Just didn’t get the chance of turning it.
Lessons for today…… LACTIC ACID HURTS  and BTW, good bait really, REALLY stinks 
Action slowed as the afternoon went on and with the breeze stiffening, begging a lot more anchor warp we called it just before sun down. What a cracking day, having waited three weeks from my last trip I was Soo ready for that and I wasn’t disappointed. Thank you Rupe for another cracking trip on Aquafresh. I also really appreciate those silken words of wisdom and encouragement so eloquently and succinctly put……….such as:
Trev, was that another fish you dropped  ? Would you like to borrow one of my steel hooks as your rubber ones don’t seem to be working  !
That hook seems to have broken in the middle  ……..did you make it yourself  ?
Those congers come in much quicker if you reel them in the other way  .
Tally
1 cod boated 7lb
2 good cod dropped
17 congers boated to 45lb+
15 congers dropped or lost
1 pollock 8lb
1 whiting <3lb
2 happy bunnies
Many thanks to 'LargeFries' for a great day.......yet again!! Good plan which came together very well.
Cheers |

| Lovely day to be out, which turned out sunnier than expected.... 
Fishing all round was slow judging by the chat on Ch6.
We arrived at our chosen mark shortly before Joint Venture, but as we have seen before....boats started arriving.....Craig and jackie on Gas and Colin and Bobi... joining in.. We forgot to say that this mark was only 100m across so fitting 4 boats on it wasnt going to work!
Nothing doing here, only one pout and a small codling after a few hours, and whilst the flood had been going for an hour or so, we went in search of bigger tides and a feature.
We found our next spot on a bank south of the Needles, and the tide was moving much stronger here- we were quickly up to 1 1/4lb leads, but the bites started coming steadily -first a Conger to me -so neatly hooked in the mouth, it came off on the surface at the back of the boat -this was arround 20lb..then a small blond ray... whiting.... then a slightly larger thornback, then crunch.... a good bite and its staying deep, and up comes a lovely Cod of 10lb 6oz - its stomach hard with crabs and full of roe.
Then its Alun, reaching for his Rod.. he's into a good fish on the baited feathers rig.. and its a prime Bass - so fat and in good condition...almost 11lb, followed shortly after with another Cod of 5-6lb. Conditions were a little bouncy for weighing fish!! (until we got back to the marina). Maybe Alun will report the true weight..
So a really enjoyable day, some fish to show for the effort, and a good start to the species hunt.

| Result on Court Jester!!! |

I fished today with Neal, John and Charlie on Cout Jester. We were all fishing both cod comps, Club and PSAC.
From the off we were in to Whiting and the odd pout. As the tide turned I had a litte bite and gave line and the fish was willing to take the line. After a mo I lifted and off she went, I thought it was a small conger untill Neal saw it and advised it was what we were after. After getting the fish onboard we all thought she was going to go bigger than the 13lb 6.5oz she went! It was the huge belly that fooled us all!
We then had a few whiting and a strap to John but little else for the whole of the flood.
After being dropped off at the Quay to find the Pure Drop (finally I found it), I was the first fish to weigh in and slowly people turned up with fish of various sizes (it made it a long 30 minutes!!!).
The closest fish was only 3oz or so smaller than mine so only a few spats in it (in fact the cod had a few sprats inside and the big belly was all roe). I also found a "Sea Mouse" or two in the stomach - something I had never heard of before -

So a big thanks to Poole Sea Anging Centre for the Comp and Neal and the guys for the fishing.

| Has spawning come early? |
| Replies: 0
| Had a rather unproductive day in the harbour today! Just two bites ........ and both fish were spawned out flounders.... all thin and wasted... so went back [luckily only lightly hooked ].
Last year my best session was Feb 5th.......then it quickly died! Have they gone early this year??
Needing more evidence, I'll try again next week !!

| Monday's forecast looked just too good for the midweek orkney fishers club (AlunJ and Rich) to miss.... but recent "no catch reports" had us doubting whether we would see any action whatsoever.
Wind forecasted as westerley 9mph, just didnt happen along with the wall to wall sunshine... just thickish fog, more so as we got towards the Needles.
We tried at the end of the ledge for a few hours with only a few whiting, a strap conger, and doggies to show, so before high tide we set off to the Needles and spent the slack and ebb until the fog surrounded us at arround 3:30pm, hastening our departure.
Just the one Cod of arround 7lbs on the boat, a few good sized whiting for the coolbox, and a pleasant but very slow days fishing.
The Fog was initially so thick, it had Rich standing outside on lookout until we had passed the Needles channel and were inshore. When it cleared shortly after that we were able to blast back into the harbour on flat calm water. Thanks to Alun and Rich for the excellent crewing and good company. Hope we can do another trip but with more fish action next time. Everything worked well on the boat except the little gas stove, which needed some warming up of the cylinder.
Just an observation, but the whiting were coughing up sprats and the Cod was stuffed full of Roe, so next few weeks, bye bye Mr Cod....
Leaves us with the big question... where to go on Sunday for the comp???.

| Well after a run of good fishing over xmas and plenty of cod, yesterday was the fish getting their own back.... it was just one of those days!
The drive from Shaftesbury was cold, foggy and slippery, the forecast wasnt as said, instead we had a stiff NE wind across tide, making it sloppy, the plotter was playing up, the anchor buff came off (again) and in my haste to recover it ran over one of my rods winding 100 yds of braid around the prop, which required an hour hanging off the dive platform in 5c water and getting soaking wet legs.
And to top it all off all Alun and I managed were a few doggies and small whiting.
Ah well - you need the bad days to highlight the good ones! |
