    Report on-board Just Mary

    Hi All, after a week of Equinox tides and strong Easterly winds that kept most of the fleet confined to Port the weekend broke on Saturday into a calm still day. After the early morning fog and mist came a bright sunny day and found us sitting on a reef mark in Poole Bay. Having stopped in the Entrance for Mackerel but landing only 'chequer' bass we moved on to our 'Mackerel mark' and despite my concerns landed enough Mackerel to use as fresh bait. Once on the mark my Anglers, using mainly hire rods, reels and the Skippers own made traces landed Conger Eel, Smoothounds, Small Eyed Ray, Channel Whiting and Pouting plus Gurnard. The day got brighter when despite a tangle of at least three lines local Beach Angler Jamie Richardson hooked and landed a magnificent 10lb 4oz Bass. More details on my Facebook page of 'Onamission Charters' later.
    A good day in good company including Rio my newest 'Just Mary' fan at only five years old who fished all day with his Dad Gary. Thanks fellas and see you again soon, well who wouldn't want to come out again on 'Just Mary' after seeing such a great fish ? All the best, Malc.
