May 2014 Monthly Report
We have honestly had too many good days in the last month to
pick one out in particular. It’s amazing what a bit of calm weather and warmer
temperatures can do for the fishing. The fishing inshore around Poole has been phenomenal
with some of the best black bream fishing I ever seen right on our door step,
both quality and quantity. Using a 2-up rig baited with half a squid head and a
bit of rag worm seems to attract those bigger fish around the 4lb mark. Along
with this the mackerel have arrived along with the first bass of the year and
rays of all species and sizes. One day this week saw spotted, blonde, undulate
and small eyed rays all hitting the surface within minutes of each other. As I mentioned
in the last report I have done my first trip to Alderney for this year.
Favourable weather conditions, for a change, meant we were able to get down to
the shoal bank 3 days on the trot. Amongst the mountains of bait fish on the
banks south of Alderney we had some good turbot up to 12lb 8oz, landed by Gary
Kent. This week we are visiting Cherbourg on our first trip to France of the
year, lets the weather and fishing keep up with our side of the channel.
