Coddy Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 My old fishing mate was down this week-end so we decided to try a spot of fishing as Paul J could not make the 'Boat Handling Day' . After meeting up with the others and watching them practice manovers, we headed off to try to catch some fish. On the way out pf Poole there was a good number of boats drifting the Swash so we thought they know something we don't so we stopped and drifted as well. Within minutes my rod was rattling and up came my first ever place all 1.5lbs! We continued to drift but the tide soon became too fast so we headed off to the Spoils. Funny I thought why are we the only ones here? Still we anchured up a sat and waited and waited then I got a good bite and up came a 1lb pout. We waited and waited ................. In the end enough was enough we headed back to the entrance and tried some more drifting but no more fish. Went back to the slip at 5pm and was home by 6pm All in all a good day to be out and wet a line, shame not many fish but I am trying to learn the marks and tactics.

great white Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Nice one Dave Your first ever plaice will be in the book. Do you want the pout added? Lovely weather for an early Easter, but a bit early for fishing inshore. Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coddy Posted March 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Hi Charlie Better add the pout as knowing my luck it will be the only one I catch this year Interesting water further out on Sunday, calm but with a large swell every now and then. Not knowing where to go I followed the main body of boats which seemed to work on this occasion unless I wanted to go to Studland bay and drink my G&T then race back in before it gets dark. Why is it that everyone goes flat out when there are so many boats drifting or at anchor creating one hell of a wash? Bet if I went past when they were drinking their G&T's they would soon start shouting! Coddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
