Pout Hole 28-7-07

[richi]

Saw that the wind had dropped right off and decided to make the best of it.Launched from Mudeford about 1am and took the ebb out through the run.

 

Made it to Pout Hole in about 1/2 hour.Took quite a while to locate a pot bouy but eventually managed to find one in about 36 ft of water.Saw a couple of other boats lights who were obviously fishing out at the ledge.

 

Had taken a box of Squid,Rag,Sandeel,mini-squid.Opened the box of Squid to find that they were a lot bigger than usual.When presented on a 8/0 4/0 pennel they looked quite a mouthful.Wasn't too confident as lately the Conger have preferred fresh Mackerel.

 

First Squid bait went into the water and after about 20 minutes the first big bite and the fight was on.After a few minutes managed to get the it to the surface where it wasn't too happy,thrashing about on the surface in the darkness.

 

 

After a few minutes it had calmed down enough to get a closer pic and release

 

 

Baited up my second large Squid and dropped it down.

 

Again, no longer than 20 minutes had passed and I was in again!followed by a slightly easier tussle Conger no.2 came to the surface

 

 

 

 

 

2nd Squid bait-----2nd Conger.

 

Released no.2 and baited up large Squid no.3.also decided at this time to fish with only one rod

 

This time the bait got hit but failed to connect so baited up my 4th Squid.

 

After about 1/2 hour got a lovely bite,struck and connected and brought this beauty to the yak(biggest so far this year)

 

 

A good 5lb er but exact I'm not sure as the scales were in the van.

 

4 Squid and 3 good fish--what a session.The wind had picked up a fair amount,still fishable but it had put a real chill into the air.

 

Stayed until just before Sunrise

 

 

I love fishing this mark!
