Coffee at 6:30on the boat getting ready for the day. We
loaded up the boat with the gear and bought a couple of boxes of squid for
Chesil Bait ‘n’ Tackle! Fortunately we had caught some mackerel the day before
for some good, fresh bait for the day ahead.
Firstly, we steamed out to the Hood to try and catch some more mackerel, but did not catch any. From there we reeled up and made our way to Lulworth banks( Target Specie-Bream) . It was a North Easterly wind of about 15mph, overcast skies with patchy sun. We arrived at our Bream hot-spot at about 9.00 am ish.
The tide was a strong flood over the ledge we were fishing which meant we had to use 2lbs+ of lead to hold the bottom. As usual, a steady stream of dog were striping good baits, sure enough as the tide started to ease, the first bream rattle appeared with Dad landing a nice 2 and a half pound Gilthead bream! Shortly after Seb landed a small conger followed by a very nice 3lb Black-Bream!
Myself and Dan caught a few more Black-Bream which were put back shortly after being landed. As the ebb tide started to build, Dad hooked into what he thought was a nice Bream. After a nice play it turned out to be a fine 3lb Bass which was sent back on its merry way J
All fish were caught on a mixture of small mackerel/squid strips with smallish hooks. Note: Having fished this spot previously, I think the Easterly winds had a effect on the fishing, mind you, and 3lb+ Black-Bream was well worth the sloppy conditions. Happy Fathers day!:)
