alun j. Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I was fishing Weymouth \ Shambles way today ......loads of boats enjoying the super weather. Tides dictated a varied approach......... bassing in the Race to start, then on to bream mark.........before getting the big ragworms out for the plaice. We got a good spell of action in the short tide-window; 6 to me , with best at 1 lb 12 oz. Then on to the banks to finish the day looking for the bigger flatties; no turbot today, but I did get two brill, with the better one weighing 4 lb 10 oz. Great day to be out....... Shame Adam was too unwell to join us .... and Bob didn't quite get his gear together !! [ but I'm not saying any more on that !!!] ....but he will be more focussed next week [if Open gets under way!]. Alun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coddy Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) Alan & I went to a number of locations trying for flatfish & rays. Alan managed to pull in a nice Turbot 0f 3lb 3oz and I managed to increase my boat species, which is difficult as this was only the third time out! Red and tub gurnard, black bream, doggies, mackerel & Bass No rays for us except some super sun rays!

Stuie Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Cabin Boy and I tried desperately for a ray in the Southbourne area without success - fortunately plan B came together - a 12 oz plaice for Cabin Boy and one of 1lb 3oz for me. Another scorcher and nice to meet up with Boblin 2 and Wishin. Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rory Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Martin's Blonde was miles bigger than mine, so I didn't feel any need to weigh it and it swam away strongly. The Tope provided some additional fun, accounting for several traces along the way. Thanks Martin (& Tony) for a great trip out, on a such a superb day weather wise. Cheers Rory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great white Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Part A of the plan went really well We had a great run to weymouth a nice meal and loads to drink after not much sleep thanks to a noisy spot in the harbour, we were just freshening up when an SOS call came in Bob Alun and co needed some squid on Tiger lilly. we left harbout at 10 to run to the shambeles and drop it off before joining teh boats drifting the race. I bass before wendy called a halt to that, then a couple of fruitless hours on the shambles in the lovely weather, a couple of other Club boats did much better than us, as did the lads on Tiger Lily. But we had some fun which is what we went west for this time. Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinbad Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Just grey squirrells and roe deer about 10 foot away at Arne, but they dont count as i didnt touch the trace. I did hear lots of banter on ch6 during the day, which proved i was taking part by being afloat but sadly not fishing. saving myself for the windy open.....Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Dave and I had about the same as everyone else Doggies all day until we got fed up and pushed out to a bit of rust then we played with some Tope best to Dave 15/20 mark. At least I can say I was afloat on the hottest recorded day in October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
