Popular Post mike farrants Posted August 27 Popular Post Share Posted August 27 Apologies for the recent winds, I took a week off work to fish - so of course it blew up. Saturday 17th August - Me, Tim and my father in law Phil out on Tim's boat - with fresh baits sorted we picked a new spot south of the shambles in 100ft of water, reportedly good for big rays, the hour long steam out was made better by the arrival of a pod of dolphins who played with us for about 5 mins. on arrival at the mark we were comforted by the fact 3 charters were there too - hopes were high! down went the fresh mackerel baits - pretty soon phil was into a run of pout - some of them pretty big, I had a big tope, which put up a good fight - it was t-barred at the side so no pics. we also had eels and dogs. pretty soon the charters moved off and we soon found out why - the tide was ripping and half pound of lead wasn't holding - so we moved too. The new mark showed up some rays, more conger and dogs, plus bream with the wind blowing 15-20mph the rest of the week we didn't have many more options other than to take my boat Pugwash out and stay close in fishing the inshore reefs wrecks and sand. we managed a few afternoon trips and had mackerel & Gurnard. plus we got papped going out under the bridge!
