Flounder fishing in BASS INFESTED WATERS Poole harbour

A day out in Poole harbour, no flounders make an appearance but there was plenty to keep us entertained, with my good mates Hugh and Graham, always a good laugh with these boys

[@bazontherocks7159]

Awesome session. And well done for releasing some of those beautiful fish. If I remember 2019 was when we could only keep 1 fish per person per day. So I tip my hat off for respecting the rules and allowing the fish to go back and fight another day. Liked and subbed

[@russellhallam8054]

Well bloody hell ..I switch on and you appear 👍👍great bit of fishing theee boys 🤙🤙🤙❤️🤙

[@koolaevah]

Great stuff guys! Love the video. I own 18 ft boat as well and consider to launch her in Baiter Park (never used this slipway with 18 footer). As the slipway is very shallow do you find launching easy or rather difficult? Would you be able to launch and recover solo, just on your own? Keep posting!

[@raysfishingdiary2046]

koolaevah thanks for your comment, that was the first time I’ve fished Poole harbour, launching was straight forward, would have thought launching solo wouldn’t be a problem, but would definitely be easier around high tide

[@hamishjanaway8896]

Great video, I fish outside the harbour normally but know exactly where you are, can I ask whether you where fishing at high or low tide?

[@raysfishingdiary2046]

It’s a while ago now but I think it was the last few hours of the flood and a bit of the ebb. Cheers

Great video! It looks very cold. What time of year was this?

[@raysfishingdiary2046]

Thanks kaptaindean, this was in January

[@hairyscone]

Great video. you gained a sub.

Ben Add thanks mate👍

I subbed 😥 y dont u care about me dad

[@jonathanpope81]

regs on taking bass there? Any ideas ? bass are no go for keeping anywhere as spawning i heard. thanks

[@SuperIdyll]

2 bass per day as is the normal regs but most of the harbour comes under nursery area so is closed for keeping bass apart from 2 months a year with both regs running, same as most harbours on south coast so catch and release for 10 months i think its nov /april only for retaining

looks like you boys had a blinding day, must be special marks to catch fish like that, or just lucky, look forward to the next vid

[@raysfishingdiary2046]

SuperIdyll thanks mate, they’re all special marks 👍

@@raysfishingdiary2046 have tried there for years but only caught crabs

[@jakelee5627]

@@raysfishingdiary2046 help me out with some marks please

[@raysfishingdiary2046]

jake lee if only it was that easy 😂my advise would be fish your local patch at all states of tides and work out when the fish come on the feed, over the years I’ve fished marks that are supposed to fish best over high tide, and fished them over Low and found the fishing better. So many people passing on dud advice imo, you’re better off finding out for yourself, good luck

[@jakelee5627]

Juat got back from poole habour we fished out in a small boat around the chain ferry we had no bass would love to catch some like but have no idea what part of the habour to fish

[@andrewelmhirst8195]

What’s it cost you to launch from there and what do they need from you? Cheers

[@raysfishingdiary2046]

i think it is just the car park ticket, cant remember how much we paid

£15

Either you caught all these fish at the same time, or you ate 6 hotdogs

C Mos probably ate 7😉

Really good video but luckily wasn't watching with my kids (they love fishing videos) because of the language. Sorry won't be watching any more vids because of it. Excellent fishing though.

Andy Jones 😂ok mum, seriously though, this is what the name says, my fishing diary with my mates, if I was doing this seriously like some of these channels(they do a top job by the way) then maybe I would tone it down a bit, in no way do I think I am professional. The worlds gone mad, there’ll be celebrity chefs swearing on proper tv next😉..thanks for the comment though. Cheers

@@raysfishingdiary2046 You swear away chaps - you are all mates on a fucking boat for Christ's sake - If you cannot employ the language in all it's ripe and crass floridity there where pray can you? My boy was taught most 'swear words' as he encountered them - with explanations as to their meanings, etymology and reasonable enunciation. He is sixteen and rarely swears around his Mum and myself.

[@Kaptainrdean]

Why the fuck are you telling everyone!!

[@raysfishingdiary2046]

its no secret mate, and tbh, they're everywhere anyway, more bass on the south coast then I can ever remember

[@Kaptainrdean]

I was half joking, but seriously, it amazes me how many locals underestimate what you can catch in the harbour and complain about underwhelming sessions further afield. Best wishes

[@PimpMyReel]

Now 3 years later and NO FLOUNDER & NO BASS because of all the netting that goes on. Flounder being sold by the netters to lobster and crab pot fishermen for 50p a KG. The authorities do nothing.... More interested in collecting Harbor fees from boat owners........AND its not much better in Poole Bay!!! Very sad!!!!
