Fished Battery point today, 3 hrs up and 1 down. Total catch after drowning many lug and rag was 1 small whiting which managed to thread itself up the hook! At least we were able to get out of the wind, would not have fancied chesil much today!

Myself, my brother and a friend fished Southbourne Sun 19th Dec, poor tide and a nasty Easterly wind that put a bit of top on the water.Started fishing at noon, after 1 1/2 hours we had one small Bass, then a small Pout. We spent the next 3 hours without so much as a sniff then at around 5 as we were just about to leave Bang after much commotion my brother was sat there with an 11lb 4 oz Bass caught on the smallest piece of Mackie. Well it had to happen sometime.Baits were: Rag, Mackie, and Squid
