26 - 27 November 2005

With a fresh northerly breeze we fished off Swanage in the morning when Poole angler Clive Chambers caught a fine cod of 17lb 3oz. In the afternoon we made a move eastwards and the catch rate increased with a good number of whiting and a 2nd Cod of 21lb 7.5oz for Clive.

On the Sunday a group of anglers from London fished the Poole Bay Small Boat Open competition. We managed pollack to 7lbs, whiting, pouts and dogfish on a day when fishing was slow.
