    Burnham On Sea 18/3/23

    in Catch reports

    Posted

    Crap.

    Not a lot to report really, launched in drizzle but still conditions with a flat sea. Tried 3 different marks for a few rays, dogs and a couple of straps. Wind got up very quickly after low water and turned pretty lumpy so made retrieval hard work. First trip out for a month so a bit disappointing really. No pictures as nothing worthwhile caught

    Got the boat out Sunday for the first time since December for a club comp. First mark was a bank around 8 miles from launch but unfortunately the anchor kept slipping as it did with the other boats on the same mark. We upped anchor and moved closer inshore and was soon followed by the others. Here we sat lovely though fishing was very slow with just 3 thornbacks for me and 1 to my dad. As the tide eased we moved back out to the first mark and the anchor held lovely but again it was slow with just a few thornbacks to my brother and dad and a single conger. Just after the tide turned most of the other boats moved back up channel but we switched back inshore to the second mark as there had been a couple of codling caught there in the morning. Straight away my dad had a decent spotty so we popped it in a drum of water to keep alive for the weigh in. Fishing was again slow but dad came up trumps with a cracking cod of 12-6 and we had a few more thornies. At the weigh in my dads spotty went 4-13 and took first place, his cod took second and the pools so we collected a bit of $$$💰💰. Great to get out again even if it was a bit slow

    I know the pirate boats are sturdy and well built, but aside from an extra 3ft, what does the change bring you? 

    A lockable cabin, better sea keeping, more space, more stability, our current boat is great and wouldn't swap it for any other 17-18 footer. Just feels like the right time to move up a little whilst still being towable.
