    Report on-board Just Mary

    PLAN 'A' JURASSIC COAST HERE WE COME ! Sometimes a Skipper's plan will come together and the weather Gods will shine on those who put in maximum effort, Sunday just gone was such a day on 'Just Mary' from Poole. With the Saturday trip cancelled due to strong winds and heavy rain, Sunday broke on a fine clear morning. So with some Regulars, Tom 'The Brickie', Alex 'The Jock', Gary C.P and Dave Gubb being joined by six Novices including a young lady we ventured off to the 32's South of the Jurassic Coast. Slight swell running from the weather of the day before and a couple of fruitless stops for Mackerel and Scad until we set the anchor in 120 feet of water. A beautiful slack 2.7 Dover tide with ebb first and flood all afternoon awaited us. Setting everyone up with Hire Gear who needed it and the fish started coming in. Pouting followed by some nice Black Bream on the ebb, Mackerel and Scad as we reached Low Water. Then the Big Fish.....a 40lb Tope for Tom, a 15lb Conger for Dave, a first Double figure Bull Huss for Dave and a 30lb Conger for Alex that made his muscles ache. The Hire rod lads caught Bream and the only fish missing was a nice Ray.....several traces were bitten straight through by even bigger fish. A nice day in good company and we will try to get there again, weather permitting.....All the Best, Malc and 'Just Mary' from Poole.....ta.
