Electric fishing

Last Friday we had a cracking days electric fishing with Kingcombe Aquacare on the Dorchester Fishing Club water, bottom line is the fish population is more than healthy, a great population of both juveniles and adult specimen fish, surely a result of lots of habitat improvement projects over the years, and we have a few more to complete before the end of October!!!!!

Did you see the size of that one.....

A fantastic day, a rather splendid curry and lots of fish, a huge thank you to all involved.

Saturday, just after first light, and with a flooding monster spring tide Matt and I found ourselves at Durdle door lure fishing for Bass, we had great fun with Pollack, Mackerel, and Garfish but the Bass stayed away!

A great sunrise.....



The rest of the weekend was juggled between the coast, river and family, this rather fine spell of warm weather has to be exploited to the full.

I took a budding Sea Trout angler out to fish one of the largest spring tides of the year, out we went on the Kayak in search of Bass, the weather was perfect, but all we managed was one Mackerel.

We tried later in the day and lost a big fish, well it is only the big ones that get away!



With all our work comitments, the whole of the "Riverworks" gang are now fully comitted to seven days a week until November, what a team we have, (as Elliot keeps reminding me)!

There are a few Cod being caught, my friend Bass Ben rang to see how work was going? "stuck in traffic in Hampshire mate" oh just had a Cod and a few Black Bream, can you fish tomorrow? "NO we have 100 tonnes of concrete coming!

We do have something to look forward to, as I mentioned we are going to be doing a little with "Fish the Dream"
Flights to Miami are booked for November to go out to see Rodney down in the Keys (hot tropical weather) who will be putting me through some pretty full on boat handling and navigation, in preperation for running one or two trips, watch this space, or better so get on to Rodney for some outstanding fishing this autumn, thats if your up to the extreme fishing!
