BOS Again 15+16 April

[Dicky]

Fished both days at the weekend, Saturday a junior comp and Sunday a senior comp.

The weather on Saturday was pants with a horrible NW wind that was a lot stronger than forecast . This is the worst direction for Burnham and made for a rough see just outside the river mouth. We gave it a go for an hour but with my daughter feeling a bit unwell we moved back into the river for a bit of shelter. We had caught a whiting and a couple of thornbacks by then. The only fish in the next 3 hours was a small strap for my son. Very hard session but there was a few decent rays caught with the winner having one over 11lb.

Sunday had light southerlies so flat sea gave us a lot more options. We started off local looking for a bass but just the 1 to me and after a couple of hours of rays, dogs and straps we moved about 10 miles down channel looking for something different. This paid off as we added blondes, spotted, hound and a huss to the tally. 2 more moves only gave us more dogs, rays and congers.

back on the beach and my huss which we kept alive weighed in at 13-3 and was enough to give me first place so happy days. 
Back  to the club for a couple of jars and some pork and gammon rolls and roasties finished off a cracking day

Well done Dicky, maybe not one of your best day's, but at least you got out.

These continual easterly's we have down here are making it very difficult to get out. I badly need a day on the skerries, and there has not been a window since early March.

Congrats on first place! Well dangled. Good photos of some nice fish too. Shame about the weather on the Saturday but hey ho.
