Adam F Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 With a warm and settled evening forecast On Tues, I took Rob and a friend Pete done to Barton to fish all night for sole. Conditions were perfect - good sized tide, calm, slightly overcast and warm. We settled in at 8pm for the last 2 hours of the flood as it got dark. We had some cracking worm baits.... Pete struck early with a decent 35cm sole, and I was quickly into a little Smoothound. But that was pretty much it. The slack arrived for an hour and we swung around into the ebb. With hope raised again as Pete added another 28cm sole to the bag and another smoothound. After that it was hours on end of nothing at all. We called it a night at 1am and turned in for a few hours kip at anchor. We tried for an hour at first light on the start of the flood but nothing. Steamed back to Poole and we’re tied up ready for a day at work by 7am. A lot of effort for meagre returns. I think I’ll give Southbourne a try next time.

Rob Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 The amazing / disappointing thing was the lack of bites, worms coming up untouched - no pout, no whiting, no dogfish - nothing!But the bioluminescent plankton was entertaining.R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
