Making the most of this year’s unusually good weather, I took the chance to grab another day out with Matt Horne and Martin Broad on Matt’s boat the Optimist. We left Gosport Marina with the early birds, getting a jump on the rest of the fleet, and headed east along the coast to one of Matt’s top marks. Almost as soon as the squid hit the water, we were into a shoal of seabream. Made even more amusing by the fact the boats all around us, some less than 100 yards off our bow, were catching nothing.
Now that day old partridge have turned Martin into the largest broody hen I’ve ever seen, I’m not sure if we will manage to get another day out. Matt keeps leaving tempting messages like someone chumming. Apparently the cod, bass and tope have to be caught to be believed. Martin has a new under keeper, his son George, so now that the rearing field is in capable hands…
