shame the fishing was so slow, only had 2 Gurnard the first day 
i did manage a baby Smooth hound the next day on my first cast so thought i was going to do well.. but that was it, no other bites :/
over the 2 days i fished i lost 5-6 hooks to the crabs, damn bait/hook thieves!

Moved back to the sticks earlier this year and being a two minute walk to the Thames, thought I would try and get back into fishing. Been a 25 year hiatus!
Just been down to the local shop and spent £150 on a float road, reel, landing net and all the bits I need. Looking forwards to it.

i think were ging to be seeing a lot of windy weather over the next month as the remnants of the US Hurricanes come our way :/
Yeah, that will be just my luck finally get some free time and the weather blows up

Not done anything in a while.
Happy to see the weather cool a bit and the first signs of Autumn setting in as i have been itching for some quiet pike fishing. I got a bit sick of carp lakes and we seemed to have gotten a huge boom in carp and match style fishermen hit the quiet rivers and streams in the area and although i like the idea of more people fishing, having guys with alarms and buckets of bait every 30 yards ruined the plan of a quiet escape. Seeing so many day ticket style, bait dumping anglers was a bit of a surprise on the little stream offshoots of the Thanes, Mole and Wey.

I had two good days out on the boats.
On the first day out of Poole I caught, two Tope biggest about 12lbs, and two Conger around the 20lbs mark. Also my first ever Bull Huss which was a fairly hefty 15lbs
On the second day we went out of Weymouth and spent most the day at a Wreck of a WW2 submarine to the west of Portland, I caught 5 Bream to 3lbs, Ballen Wrasse, Dog Fish (lots) x2 Tope biggest 13lbs, Pouting.
