Andy135 Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 I'm keeping my fingers, toes and everything else crossed for Friday. Weather looked ok, now it looks a bit too much, hoping it will blow through and more settled weather will arrive by then. I am fully gagging for a dangle but it would be just my luck to be blown out at the first opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won’t be anymore busy than normal. Don’t forget most people with boat can travel and use them. It’s only the country gentry that struggle.

Got on, we went out yesterday as that was allegedly the least windy day of the weekend . Dean and I were up early doors . Got to the boat at around 8:45am and were the only boat going out through the 9:30 bridge lift. Pulled into Poole Quay opposite one of the Squeeker factories to collect our bait. Armed with worms and raw prawns off we set. Went past a visiting super yacht called Elandess, Dean took a photo of our boat passing her Headed outside the harbour and had a few drifts along the beaches with 1 plaice being the reward for our effort there. Twas windy and cold so bacon and sausage sandwiches were made and consumed, this turned out to be the highlight of the day Moved to fish the swash hoping for less wind and more action but weed was a problem here so yet another move to inside the harbour. Our chosen mark was almost unfishable with so much weed being dragged out the harbour by the super strong ebb. We decided to call it a day and head back to our berth through the 14:30 bridge lift, wash the boat down and home by 15:30 On our way out the guys that did gel repairs and polishing of Madness phoned saying they were at work on one of the Sunseeker boats and offered to take a few shots of Madness on the water which was really nice of them as it is really difficult getting shots of your own boat on the water. All in all an enjoyable 5 hours on the water after nearly 4 months of inactivity due to weather and boat out for annual repairs etc. Looking forward to our next foray hopefully with a few more fish thrown in JonC, Geoff, Andy135 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintly Fish Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 @Maverick well done Martin for making the effort and not blanking! In the reflection of the super yacht you look like your sinking, and I can’t believe your under steam with your fenders still out...... amateur! 😇 Maverick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm supposed to give at least 1 hours notice. I'm thinking of getting her put on a service rack on Monday/Tuesday to check her over & do some more stuff on board and I may just have them drop her into the drink before the weekend to get ahead of the crowd.

When we came back in we noticed there was a window at waterline on Elandess where we could see loads of cushions stashed (you would have loved that) which kind of made it look like she was sinking but slacking crew member never got a piccy of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrkneyCorkney Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Okay, all that reflection and shear size of the Elandess puts my polishing efforts on the wee boat in perspective. And before @Geoff volunteers me, no I’m not going to polish that one! Geoff and Andy135 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want the make I can go look for you. Although I don’t know if they do your size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintly Fish Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 2 minutes ago, JonC said: I’ve learnt a good trick this year for polishing, a guy from the south coast told me. First you get a company in to polish your boat to a decent standard, then once they have finished get another guy over to snag their work and use that as a reason not to pay them! Simple but effective. You’re such a pr..k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintly Fish Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I’m eyeing up this coming Saturday for a trip out. It will be Leo and I. We did invite @Andy135 who accepted and then uninvited himself?? I mean it’s one thing to un invite @JonC but to do it to yourself!!!

Mrs135 agreed to have the kids on Saturday then retracted her offer after she "suddenly remembered" an appointment at the hairdresser... 🤔🤔 So instead I'll be planning a shore dangle at some point over the weekend.

mike farrants Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 im planning on going out on Saturday in my boat - see if there's any mackerel about then try for early bream on ringstead or lulworth ledges, heding to the adamant bank if not. then sunday out on a friends boat to hit the shambles for turbot/brill. i'll keep you posted!

mike farrants Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) Saturday on my boat - trying for mackerel in the entrances to Portland harbour - no joy so we headed to a mark and anchored up - i had 2x doggies, a small conger and a spotted ray. my mate had a mackerel off the bottom on squid - perfect for sunday's Turbot hunt, doggies, and his son had a baby smoothound. the other boat we were with also had a mixture of dogs and rays. Sunday on mates boat - couple of drifts on the shambles produced nothing - was far too lumpy to be comfortable, so we anchored on the adamant shoal, I had 5 doggies, and another spotted ray, he had a dog fest and 1 whiting, his son caught a much improved smoothound. Full report when all pics are in! Edited April 19, 2021 by mike farrants Geoff and Saintly Fish 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
