Popular Post jonnyswamp Posted October 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2021 A bit of a scrabble getting my gear sorted (didn't have any rigs made, or stuff for sandwiches etc) but the forecast was good, so Weymouth bound we were Straight out to just west of the Bill to get some Mackerel (put 30 or so in the bait box) then a short move out to anchor up for some Bream Plenty of action for all of us with fish up to around 2.5 lb, razor clams outfishing squid strips by quite a bit, even outfished the prawns covered in chilli and garlic sauce ! Paul had a good day on prawn covered in chilli and garlic back a few months ago on the Skerries after Plaice, so now it goes on every frigging trip (it stinks) Had a move to the race for a crack at the Bass on artificials next, this produced around a dozen in all, with only a few under 45cm Next up was dragging some strips of the earlier caught Mackerel along the Shambles This gave Charlie Chuckles a pair of Blondes, with the biggest going 8 kilos (skipper thought it was 8lb, then realised his scales were set to metric) With a fair bit of moaning regarding the lack of flatties coming aboard (also read lack of skill) we went back on the Bream on a different mark Loads getting consistently caught by all, then it went a bit hay wire I was bringing in a run of the mill sized Bream, when it felt like I'd hit a snag (not really possible 60ft up off the bottom) then the snag screamed to the right and was gone This immediately happened to Charlie Chuckles and then to another guy who actually played a small (4ft ish) Porgie, much to the delight of the guys on the (too close) boat on our right, the thing came out of the water a couple of times then was gone Along with most of the Bream for the next 20 mins or so We did send a small live Bream out under a float, but the shark had long gone A few more Bream for us, then time to pack up This was probably the biggest Bream of the day, though there were quite a few around that size Charlie Chuckles with a rare smile and a Bream I'll try and take more photos next time When the fishing is good, I find it hard to put the rod down and pick up the phone Dicky, GPSguru, Andy135 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicky Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Sounds like good day and great to hear there are a few bass back in the race. There are a few porgies around there this time of year after the bream it seems. jonnyswamp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyswamp Posted October 20, 2021 Author Share Posted October 20, 2021 We were on Offshore Rebel, he is now our regular Weymouth charter We were with Katie Anne for 8 yrs, but he sold his boat last year, so we dropped in lucky with Jamie and have booked all next years trips with him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPSguru Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) Great report and some excellent fishing. The best days are always the ones when you are unprepared and just take it as it comes 👍 Edited October 29, 2021 by GPSguru jonnyswamp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
