Popular Post mike farrants Posted August 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2022 we entered the boat comp again this month - 2nd time and still lots to learn. comp is diff points per fish, max 10 per species, catch and release, no min size, you mark your points on a card so we need 2 persons or more on a boat to adjudicate - theres a different bonus species each time and specimen comp too. Bonus fish this time was Bull Huss (we didn't find any) we headed out the harbour at 8am straight to the adamant to drop the first baits at 9am on the dot. I soon pull in a Tope - nice 25 points and new species for me this year, followed by a dog or two = but it wasn't producing much so we upped anchor and headed to the spoils. here i was rewarded with a Red Gurnard (again first of the season) and a few more dogs. Tim had a couple of bream, gurnard and dogs too. with the fishing slow we decided to head inshore for the small stuff - and we quickly bagged up our 10 pollock each - around the 10cm size, and a few wrasse - i had a Gold Sinny which i was delighted with - as its quite rare and i had 2 sand smelts - sadly these fish go down as small unclassified 5 points each. Tim had a load of pout and his 10 wrasse - i struggled. we went in search of bream for the last hour - but sadly nothing more. Neither of us won anything, but i improved on my last score and we learned a lot about tactics - and the pints back at the club were lovely and cold. cracking day afloat!

Andy135 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Every day's a school day. Top fishing and good learning about match fishing - it's a totally different discipline if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
