Compared to last weeks match it was a fish bonanza. 29 whiting , 6 strap congers , two bass one of 43cm and two small eyed rays between five of us . Fishing the flood then the ebb over the reef on a dry chilly evening fishing was hectic from the start with whiting in numbers and at a reasonable length. Two small eyed rays which was nice to see and the usual eels made up the haul . Well done to everyone who came and they were rewarded with everyone catching over two metres .

Results from the shore match at Southbourne sep 6th 2024. 1 M Wright 672 C Mackenzie 0 Sadly only two fished as the forecast was not great and some had other commitments. Fishing a flood tide on slightly better conditions than forecast Chris got into the first fish , with a decent bend in his rod Chris had what looked like a good ray on only to lose it in the surf close in , that was it for the evening for Chris , I was fortunate enough to catch. Small (small ) eyed ray and a bass . Next match is at Branksome beach on the 19th September 7- 10.30pm . See you all there .
