Studland Bay ( Dorset ) Report 21.05.05

[Ben]

hey ricahrd, did you use your 2 new shinny reels?
where they good?

[DownSouth]

Studland will be BUSY in the summer months. There is a nudist beach that is less populated, but you might look a bit over-dressed....Shell Bay is a superb flattie location. This is just off the Sandbanks ferry. Park in the NT car park and walk over the bridge on to the beach. Look for the gully that runs freshwater in to the sea and fish around the mouth of that.

[Ben]

long time no see paul, how you been?

[DownSouth]

Busy, busy Ben. I've been reading loads daily, but just don't seem to get time to do anything at the moment other than take photographs. Nearly at the end of the first year (where has it gone). Once I have got my exhibition prints done I'm hoping to get down to the south coast to wet a line or two.

Actually went to Magazine Lane a couple of weeks back, but only to shoot some images of the container port. Where is fishing well around Southampton Ben?

[Ben]

me bill and john had 16 smuts and 3 bass from warsash on saturday night, non of the smuts were masive but good fun, john had a nice 3 1/2lb bass but the other 2 were schoalies
fihsing is starting to pick up abit now, smuts are in nicely
hill head or selsy might be worth a bash for them for the biggger 1s
drop me a line when you wanna fish and we could see if we can meet up

[DownSouth]

Will do Ben. Most probably in about 3 weeks time. Look forward to it.

[Ben]

from the 8th-15th i have a week off with nothing else to do

[DownSouth]

That's my last week of the year, then off for 13 weeks (though will have to work). I'll fit in time on the weekends though. I'll drop you a PM nearer the time mate.

[Ben]
