mike farrants Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Had all day to myself so decided to take pugwash out solo - the plan was to drift the entrances, and a little wreck and a reefy area for mackerel, gurnard, pollock and wrasse. with no time constraints and no wind all day I left it till lunchtime before heading out - which turned out to be a bad decision - as i left the marina i could see a huge bank of fog on the horizon - i carried on and kept a close eye on it - it was moving very slowly - and creeping up the coast - i did about an hour and half before it really closed in - i moved close to the pier as the visibility dropped - headed in disappointed with just 3 mackerel (at least i didn't blank). was gorgeous when the sun was out though! it went from this..... to this.... to this in about 30 mins obligatory pic for Jon: to console myself i then tried for mullet in the marina - with even less luck. By which time the fog had lifted to a lovely sunny day again! after id packed up the boat! to console myself even further - i went home, swapped boat gear for float gear and hit the rocks at portland bill - see separate shore report for that!

Andy135 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Wise move to head in Mike. No heroes when fog is concerned. And well done on the mackerel. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike farrants Posted June 26, 2023 Author Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) I was amazed how only half the boats came in and some were heading out - guessing they had radar etc Edited June 26, 2023 by mike farrants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
