For most of us, even when we scaled the hook sizes right down, it still provided a challenge to land that many sh. Luckily, we had Mike Fox on the boat with us, and he showed us all how it is done and seemed to catch multiple sh with just about every cast and probably did a much better job of populating the live tank than the rest of us put together. With our tiny baits in the tank, we undertook a very lumpy run out the bridge to start shing the live baits under the oats. Again, as with the July bass trip, it was di cult to get on the sh. We spent most of the day on the oats dri ing in and around that area and only landed 4 sizeable bass between us all day, Winners of the Kelso Turton Trophy Robin Swanston and Terry Gordon Phil Walker won nearest the pin on the notoriously di cult second hole. Neil Pullman the best being caught by Neil Pullman at 5lb 10oz. ere were a few undersize bass landed and released plus a couple of sh dropped on the way to the boat, but again nothing like the levels or size of sh that had been seen before in June. e skipper Ryan did tell us that catching bass in August can be challenging and that once the weather cools and the spratts come in, then the bass shing should pick up. As usual, we did stop o on the way back into Poole and did a bit of shing at anchor. Here members caught mackerel, dog sh, black bream and congers. Despite not landing that many sh it was still an enjoyable and great day out. ere is a recreational bass trip booked on “Ocean Runner” every month for the remainder of the year, so as long as the weather holds we can hopefully expect to get some better results as we go into autumn and early winter.
