Happy Birthday Nigel. Hope you had a great day.

Fisheagle tried a few well trusted ray marks. We had some fresh mackerel and given the tide and weather conditions, we were quietly confident. We caught every thing but rays. It was only our last mark that came up with a single solitary undulate of 10 lbs. to me. Good fun was had with largish tope and we were all bitten off. As the tide turned, we went onto another bank. Several bags of chum later, we had more small Conger, Tope and a few other fish. We then started to hit decent bream on the Ray rigs. We probably had over a dozen between 2 and 3 lbs. The best one of 3 lbs. 12ozs. going to Mike. A bonus bull Huss, which I needed for the Individual Species Comp. completed what turned out to be a day of contrasts. A lovely day to be out with good company and a weather forecast that was almost correct.

Allan and Mike Hall plus non member on Fisheagle. Day to be decided. Sunday at the moment.

The sole didn't come out to play, the area was heavily netted, very little tide, people swimming and of course the fireworks. Message to self, choose a quieter night and perhaps try the harbour. We returned home at 10pm. just after the fireworks. I was amazed at the total lack of lights on a number of small crafts, especially, a very small rib with 4 men on board spotted near the Castle We left Cobbs on the 12. 30 pm bridge and headed into Swanage where Mike Hall and I had a few nice rays. Mackerel were scarce and small bream a nuisance. A bonus 5 lbs. Bass to me was very welcome. Conditions were calm and the warm sun was extreemly pleasant. After a couple of hours, a move was called for and we drifted along the shore and past the piers. Again, lots of nets. Plaice were sizeable, but generally small under 12ozs. and all were returned. One around 2lbs. was kept. We were hoping for a bonus red mullet or trigger, but to no avail. Interestingly, the end of Bournmouth Pier, which fished well last week seemed devoid of anything. We spoke to several Club boats on the radio. I always feel it is reassuring to know when other Club Members are out there and to make contact at least once. Overall, the weather made the day, a bonus bass and a few new species for Mike plus lessons learnt on the sole front. Allan.

Hoping to do a sole trip on the evening of Friday 23rd. August along the piers with Coddy and Dave L. I already have tracks on the plotter and these will be checked for nets etc.on the way down around 7 pm. Returning to Cobbs around 22. 30 pm.when there is a Bridge which most boats won't need as the Town Bridge clearance should be over 3 meters. Any boats interested in joining us, please post or PM. Obviously, all subject to the current weather forecast holding. Allan.

Have a great day and enjoy yourself.

Fisheagle cannot make this one. Some French Friends who have just travelled around most of Europe on their yacht are stopping over in Poole for a few nights to say hello. Good luck to all taking part.

Fisheagle will be out to play subject to weather.

Fisheagle hopes to be out with Coddy. Some time will be spent near Swanage. On Ch 6.
