    Report on-board Just Mary

    Another hot weekend aboard 'Just Mary' from Poole. Saturday 13th saw a 'United Nations' of Anglers aboard the boat with the Home Nations, our European friends and a Far Eastern representative all onboard. A few Bream and assorted sundries of Summer Species followed on from more Mackerel than many of my group had seen in a long time, 'a Mackerel Fest' as one Angler phrased it ! Third mark of the day went to plan and we quickly had two Blonde Rays over the slack water period for one of our French friends and Gary from Poole. These were followed soon after by an Undulate Ray for Zak, aged 13, on the trip with his Dad Paul. A first trip on 'Just Mary' and a first Undulate Ray for Zak. Job done 'Mission Accomplished !' Sunday 14th and another mark produced again more Mackerel, plus Tope, Dogfish, Gurnard and two exceptional Undulate Rays. My 'Apprentice' had both the Rays whilst his Swindon Bus Drivers looked on......The Undulates were 15lb 4oz and 16lb 0oz, both female fish, both on fresh Mackerel, he could have claimed a 'Shimano Mission Accomplished' award from SeaAngler Magazine except for the fact that I got him that award years ago !
    Nice to see that my teachings live on and he hasn't lost his touch ! Well done Apprentice ! (see if you can recognise him ?) All the best to You All, Malc.
