    Report on-board Just Mary

    Hi All ! A weekend of two totally different days so much so that you would hardly think that it was the same week or the same month ! Singles/Individuals Day on Saturday with the regulars including Tom and Johnnie the Brickies, Kev the Chippie, Gary the Builder and the 'overseas contingent' of Mac from the Emerald Isle and Alec from Jockland (and I only ribbed him a bit about the Vote outcome - honest ! Anyway Saturday was misty, murky and downright miserable ....but....the Sea was flat calm.....not a breath.....so with a nice Neap tide we set off down to the West off the Jurassic Coast. Slow start but then.....wow ! Big Tope, Big Congers, Big Rays and some Big Bream.....and plenty of rod bending, arm wrenching action for the boys onboard. We must have had over 200lb of fish and pulling them up in 120 foot of water is not to be sniffed at.....you come and try it ! Great day and I'm pleased that Dan, Tom's mate, took some photos coz my old iPhone 3 had a wobbly moment and didn't store any of my 20 odd pics.....grrrrrrrr !
    Sunday was totally different, bright Sun, no mist or fog or drizzle and it was hot ! Sadly it was also breezy and from the North East, and I hate bloody Easterlies. Even so we fished a deep mark out towards the Needles and recorded some interesting fish. Big Pout and a solitary Whiting mean that the Autumn is here and we'll have Cod soon. The rest was an Undulate for the Organiser Colin Moors plus a small Conger and some Bream. I think the hire rod lads best enjoyed the Mackerel and Scad fishing and the wind never did die off like the good old Met Office said it would.....40 million pound Computer and they still can't get it right !
    Until next time, tight lines ! Malc.....
