    Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3

    Today was a practice session for the Lymington team to allow them to try new tactics and rigs, the start went well with a bit of wind and tide together as soon as we set up the Plaice and Bream kept coming aboard not fish but plenty of them then the tide changed so a bit of Ray fishing was required , a couple of Rays and more Bream came aboard and a move was required as I pulled the anchor up Robin was sure he had hooked weed so no one paid any attention then as the anchor was stowed a big shout from Robin that he needed a net and to our shock / surprise a 7lb 8 ozs Lobster was boated ( thank you Robin for my dinner). Conditions had deteriorated with a fresh breeze over the tide causing a bumpy drift at the wrong angles but I put it to the boys that this was a practice day and fishing outside of your comfort zone was the best way to gain knowledge so we moved nearer the shore enjoying a bit of the famous Bournemouth Air Show, as we started to drift the wind pushed us up the tide not ideal for fishing but good practice for the boys, to their credit they adapted very quickly and were soon into more Bream, Red Mullet, Plaice and various Wrasse species the Malcolm hit what he thought was another Ray but to our surprise he had bagged a double shot of Cod and a Bream. Well done to all the guys today managing challenging and producing the goods.
