Yes saw it, nothing like a bit of sensationalism - "a few miles from shore" equates to 14 miles. Love it.

Looking to make the trip down on Tuesday. Can any one give me a viz report for between Swanage and Weymouth. The weather is looking good so I am hoping there will be fairly decent visibility..

No offence taken, cracking fish

Hengistbury head yesterday off the long groyne. Vis from the top was a milky 1m but on the bottom it opened up to 4-5m. Missed 3 absolute sitters!! Couldn't tell you the fish, my ID is pretty shocking at the moment. More time in the water needed so possibly out that way again tonight, tide pending

I'm offended.......got a few choice words for you as well but I will refrain!

 

[speerolee]

I was just about to post where have the bass gone a after a fruitless couple of hours mon eve( daylight of course), now I know, they're in his fridge. I'm offended.

 

[Robbo66]

That is a stupendous fish.
Certainly not offended, apart from the view of your bundies obviously.

Far better than the mullet or mini pollack pics so often posted by the debutants or the generally mentally challenged.

 

[Pointandhope]

Nice fish, good product placement but dreadful moccasins!!

 

[speerolee]

They're 'dude shoes'

 

[Pointandhope]

Let me know where I can get some so I can avoid that shop

 

[speerolee]

I got them online www.elitespearoshoes.com

Ummm... what's wrong with mullet?

 

[Highlander]

Mullet is great if you marinade it well. I tend to go for a chilli, lime, orange, cumin & garlic flavour for an hour or so on the fillets BBQ it flesh side down on a high direct heat so you have a nice sear to it, not forgetting a bit of Olive oil in the marinade.

I will try & post the recipe when I am back at home.

Exactly, mullet is an amazing eating fish! Fillet it up, remove the skin and dark red flesh and you're left with thick, meaty, pure white fillets - give it a good, spicy marinade and put it on the BBQ - it's beyond stunning!

Although bass is pretty unbeatable when eaten on its own, mullet is my favourite fish for adding flavours to as it holds the flavours really well while still retaining its own lovely flavour too. A soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, chilli, ginger, and coriander marinade is one of my favourites. Leave the skin on, marinade for an hour or so, then fry/bbq skin side down over a really high heat, then turn over to sear the flesh for a minute or so. Then serve with rice or noodle stir fry. Lovely.
