Popular Post Saintly Fish Posted January 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2022 Well as the weather has been so nice it was rude not to go out and bash some more fish. First mate LB and I left the Hamble at 8am and headed for West lepe bouy about a mile shy of lymington. Once I'd got the anchor set properly (it got twisted in the chain first attempt at slack water)we dropped baits down and soon realised that we had landed directly above the kennels. Dogs on the prowl jumping on baits with gay abandon before they'd even had time to settle on the bottom. The score was 5 all before Leo had his PB (?) snake. A nice strap of about 7lb gave him some fun. It was bleeding a fair bit so it went quickly back in without a photo. Then a few different bites started, whiting showed up as the tide eased and I landed (probably) my biggest whiting to date. It went to 2lb on the boga. After a PN break, we carried on with the whiting and dogs. And Leo also managed a double hit of starfish. And that was pretty much it. A nice gentle day out with my favourite son, it was a bit chilly but nothing us men couldn't handle!! 💪🏻 As is now routine, Leo took us home, at WOT of course 🙄. So for a special treat I allowed him 15 mins of coming along side practice in the river, lots of boats off their mid river pontoons so it was a perfect opportunity. And I'm happy to report no damage caused!! Now just got to keep fingers crossed that next Friday stays calm.

Don,t worry Jon - I have had plenty of those pots in the distant past, but that was long ago now and I do not suppose that they have improved at all. In fact the colourful modern pots and the wide range of flavours probably still do find favour (not flavour) with the youngsters, but please don't concern yourself about that as it is just a matter of them growing up!!!
