Popular Post mike farrants Posted Monday at 09:54 AM Popular Post Share Posted Monday at 09:54 AM Met up with Tim and his mate Marcus for a trip to the adamant - the Adamant bank can be hit or miss - red letter day or dog city - for me it was barely either. I wasn't to have a good day. Hit the entrances for fresh bait - mackerel feathers and Squid jigs - i had nothing in an hour - the others got 3 decent sized mackerel that was it. i had plenty of frozen so we headed for the adamant. we were spoilt by the conditions - mirror calm and the dolphins wanted to play! Marcus wanted some bream for the table so we stopped at our usual mark on the way to bag up a couple of decent bream. the bream were slow to come but Tim and Marcus managed a couple each. I got a dogfish on my bream rig, and brought it onto the boat to unhook - save him smashing up the rig or snapping off - however in doing so I must have somehow broken the tip of my 6-12 rod. sad times. but can repair by shortening it slightly. Off to the adamant - targeting rays - my day didn't get any better - only one more dog fish - but Tim had a run of Tope, and a Spotted and Blonde ray, Marcus managed a tope and a cuttlefish. Saturday was a disappointment and conditions remained good so Sunday afternoon i took my boat out for a couple of hours to drift around the bay in search of gurnards, Garfish, plaice anything really. I had 3 rods out - one float with a sandeel for the gar, one plaice rig for anything on the bottom, and a set of feathers over the side I managed a nice tub gurnard on the plaice rig and a mackerel on the feathers. I was lucky enough to be out when the Waverly did a lap of the bay - I was too far away for any decent photos - but it was a lovely sight to see. Not the best of fishing but some lovely time spent afloat! I consoled myself with some turbot fillets out of the freezer!
