Popular Post Saintly Fish Posted May 2, 2022 Popular Post Posted May 2, 2022 Leo and I sped off at 8.30am to find the Middle bank on the south side of the Solent, just outside Ryde on the IOW. we had full height spring tides today so we were not expecting much. Good job too. Middle bank threw up 5 dogs to my rod, is this the day I get my own back on the little one?? A worried Leo was quick to agree a move to a mark that we fished with @Andy135 and Thomas last year, we called it Breamhuss. But really it was just west of the east bramble market bouy. more dogs arrived, I'm now 8-0 up!! Leo comes back at me with an LSD and a small pout. And then the sneakiest tiktak ever was deployed by my first mate. I got into a nice hound, only about 7-8lb but on my light bream rig it went well. Trouble is, little man forgot that there is an extra 50% of the handle left on the net, so the hound went nuts as Leo floundered trying to net him. The line chaffed and bye bye mr hound. I swear I saw a rye smile at the corner of his mouth 🙄. Anyway, that was the height of the excitement, it ended 11 dogs to me and a dropped hound to Leo's 3 dogs and pout. Still he claims victory though for boating more species!! Wtf The most curious part of the day was what I found in the pack of frozen squid!! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Geoff, thejollysinker, JDP and 5 others 7 1 Quote
Andy135 Posted May 2, 2022 Posted May 2, 2022 Well, that IS a sneaky tactic - the netsman only has one job to do, and if he bumps the fish off then he takes the heat for it. Should have made him swim home 🤦♂️🤣 Saintly Fish 1 Quote

Adeolly Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 We were also out Monday; I think we spied you as we headed out towards Bullock, where all the Pout in the English Channel appear to have been overwintering. Would have been glad of a dog or two, never mind 8. No sign of any bream. Moved off Bullock to another couple of marks - zilch, nada, nothing. Andy135 1 Quote

The pout should have moved off by now, so it's curious that they're still hanging around. Shame no bream - try Boulder next time, some good ones have been coming out from there in the last week or so. Quote

We did think about trying Boulder; I've not got any marks there so decided to stick with Bullock. We were one of nine boats north end there... Did get a nice wrasse as a consolation prize.
