Mid-Week Recreational Fishing Trip Wednesday 20th March. Report and Photos sent in by Dave Price.
6 club members went out for a mid-week recreational fishing trip on Wednesday 20th March from Poole aboard "Piscary" skippered by Matt Rowe. The conditions were fantastic for March as the sea was flat calm and the boat was in bright sunshine for most of the trip. The skipper took us about 15 miles offshore where we anchored up and stayed in the same spot all day. We fished in 55 metres of water with a strong tide which required all anglers to use 1 1/2 to 2 lb weights to hold bottom.
The combination of depth, tide and weight made for a challenging day with a lot of physical effort being required to catch fish of any size. Apart from a couple of quiet spells, the fish were on the feed and the fishing was good. Species mostly caught during the day were spurdogs, bull huss, congers, and pouting, along with 1 dogfish and a good 3 bearded rockling caught by Mike Fox. Top angler on the trip was Tony Methven who landed far more fish than anyone else.
Thanks to Robin Lane for reorganising the trip after it had to be changed due to bad weather on the original date.
