Welcome spicefish

Welcome Keith, have you put a picture up of your boat yet?

Nice report, sounds like a decent day overall

Nice session, what did the plaice go? looks a couple of pounds.

TBH the Empress that you went to first is more of an Autumn / winter wreck, but the Château fishes quite well all year round.

We had more fish off the Chateau. We were going to try the Ursa but we had enough fillets and fancied a go at the plaice. do you ever fish the Meat Boat?

I know, he has it both ways. Charges you to go out on his boat then keeps most of your catch 🤣🤣🤣

I guess you went out to the 'empress of India', and then onto the 'Château Yquem'. The Château is known locally as the 'Salvage'

These are local wrecks for us, and I am thinking about going to the 'Ursa' on Sat or Sun. The Ursa is about a mile from the Chateau.

I will guess at the 2 charter's being 'LazyDaze' and 'Shandie III', both from Exmouth.

One was Devon bass pro from Axmouth the other was Bear something or other which I think was a rod and line commercial from Exeter

well done dicky great report mate do you drift the wrecks our anchor up mate not done any wreck fishing in this channel  sounds a good crack mate 

We were drifting with lures but you can fish at anchor on the smaller tides 

Towing down to West Bay tomorrow, has anyone fished out of there lately?

Club away day tomorrow at West Bay 

I think it's rare that birds that land on boats at sea survive, they are usually pretty desperate if they land on a boat. Once out of Hayling we had a bird land onboard, think it was a Gold Crest or something on the way back from Africa. It sat in a coil of rope for a while and when it eventually took to the air a fooking gull took it clean out the sky.

Congrats Luke, look forward to reading some reports from your trips. Good luck with the venture

Great effort Josh. I have 5 days in September booked again at Fowey but doubt i will manage to get down there before that.

Burnham again Saturday afternoon for a short one over high. Fished a mark we haven’t tried in a couple of years trying to find a bit more tide on these tiny neaps. The flood was manic for the 3 of us with conger after conger, dogs and a few thornbacks. In between I found a blonde around 12lb and my brother had a hound around the same size. The ebb started off a bit slow but by the time came to up anchor it was flat out fish again. I did find a codling last drop but a bit small so put back for another day. Flat calm and warm when the sun was out so another good day 

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 

Top effort again Josh but disappointed to see  space in the pan, could have fitted a few more snarlers in there!!

Junior comp tomorrow then a senior comp on Sunday

Price reduced down to £20,500

Some nice fish there mate, Were you inshore or on the reefs about 5 miles out?
