Coddy Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Talking to Allan on Saturday, he suggested a short trip on Sunday as the weather did not look too bad, so after careful consideration I said yes! Allan also invited Mick (Sparky) along as his boat is feeling poorly at the moment. We had decided to give the comp a miss this time as we all fancied a less stressful day just to be out in the fresh air and have a laugh. A gentle start for the 9.30 bridges and a trip down to the piers, not very quick due to the sloppy sea state, we also looked over a wreck, as shown on the charts but could not see anything significant on the bottom so might be a bit away from the chart mark. Allan managed a Tub Gurnard to start us off but otherwise it was very quiet, a few boats around but with the wind and sea state increasing we decided to head into the harbour for a bit of shelter. We tried a suggested new mark looking for anything about but again it was dead, did see all the power boats heading out for the race however. We then tried near Brownsea and it seems we found the fish that were hiding, admittedly not big fish but when Ballan wrasse hit your bait you know about it shame they don't put up a bigger fight even on light tackle. We then started getting Bream bites and up comes a Gilthead by Allan, more wrasse then Mick pulled in a Red Mullet By this time the tide turned and the weed started so we packed up and headed in for the 3.30 bridge and home. Thanks to Allan and Mick for a good day out Dave Hooky, Greg, sparky and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
