Popular Post mike farrants Posted March 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) took my birthday off work coz no one should work on their birthday when they could be catching dogfish or something. in laws were down for mothers day so we planned fishing on the Saturday 26th and Monday 28th. 20mph easterlies on saturday kept us firmly on dry land and after a few hours fishing from shore we blanked. so went to the pub. the wind was due to drop on Monday and having been dragged around Seaton for mothers day we were keen to get out - so we thought we would poke our bow out and have a look - the swell was as forecast around 0.5m and close but wind chop as well - not bad enough to turn around, but not suitable for anchoring either - we chose to anchor up inside portland harbour - nice and sheltered. very hazy all day - almost foggy but a fresh breeze! very odd, we were in 40ft of water and over mud - hoping for thornies and conger. fishing was slow all day, we each had a small whiting, phil had a 2nd and then a conger at the end of the day - slow - but better than being in the office. the birthday beers took the chill off too! no idea what these gonads are - but i caught loads? back at the pontoon by 5pm for a quick one in The Boot before a fish and chip dinner at the Cove House Inn overlooking chesil for a hazy sunset!!
