lofty Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Had a great year on my Dorado 2 this year with many PBs and at time of print 29 species Started in the usual way killing the winter floundering, and had some belters in Holes bay, although haven't found the honey hole yet Spring was kickstarted with the 3rd Plaice chase, which saw a great turnout and a nice amount of fish and money raised for HOW, and supported by Pbsbac Then on Starwars day the Black Bream arrived. It had been crap but on May the 4th everyone started catching, with Swanage once again doing the honours As soon as everyone had got their bream fix the Swanage meet came around, with club boats providing a safety net for all anglers Personally species comps are not my bag. I'm too easily distracted by the bigger fish and as usual I soon gave up trying for species and had my ray gear out I wasn't disappointed I've had some cracking summer days fishing Poole bay Had some great fishing in Oxwich Guess what I got distracted on the species comp Oxwich is great I've had brilliant Ray's this year and numerous other big fish My highlight of the year was my incredible session on the smuts in the Solent. A dream days fishing with big double after big double destroying me. I lost count after a dozen. The longest was 148cm long.

lofty Posted December 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 What an amazing day that was I had a great summer,finished off with the Ladram meet. Really nice chilled out meet. The summer at an end and thoughts go towards winter fishing I wonder if I can get a decent cod at Blue Anchor? A 10 lber = proper cod Just for that remark I'm going to head butt and crap on you And to finish the year, the way I started it, on the flounders I've had an awesome years kayak fishing, pushed my expectations and have been rewarded, had a lot of fun with many great mates. It'll be quiter for the next few months, but really looking forward to a terrific 2016 Here's to lighter evenings, no wind, the sun on your faces , and fabulous fishing Luvtoots Reel Wizzard, Neal, Ianh87 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great white Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Great pictures Lofty and a really good read I wish I had bothered to keep a more accurate log and taken lots of pictures, as I used to when the boat was first launched. I may need to look in the on board log and at the tablet pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
