Fishing Sunday May 11th

05.00 Car loaded and ready to go, extra time added due to contra flow at Wisley and the A3/M25 slip roads being closed, I always join the A3 at Cobham so no problems for me, at 05.15 on a Sunday the A3 is not generally busy, there being only 2 other cars going in my direction, the estimated arrival time remained constant, eventually arriving at the marina at 06.34.

The fishing trip was booked as a Black Bream/Smoothound trip, however the Bass turned up so it became a Bass, Black Bram & Smoothound trip, on conformation of the trip the night before the wind speed had increased this would make it rough on the Bass grounds, the trio was changed to Tope, Black Bram & Smoothound, on the day the wind did was quieter than predicted.



Some views of Portsmouth Harbour on the way out.


One of the Aircraft Carriers was in port, the close up pictures I took were a bit fuzzy and didn't come out well





One of the many Black Bream I caught the vast majority were returned, this one is a female, the males have blue makrings






One of the Tope caught, I did not target the Tope on this trip.



And proudly displayed by it's captor before being returned.
