These last few months have been pretty non-productive but none the less enjoyable. I have been out on a number of occasions, including a trip to Kimmeridge and still caught very few fish, sometimes none, hence the lack of blog entries. Nothing to shout about.
Today hasn't been that much better, I caught a few barbie size bream, a solitary mackerel and a bass. It was a beautiful day from the start, an hours bait digging, back home for breakfast and then launching from my local beach, Lepe. I moved around a bit but wherever I anchored I was plagued with weed which was a real nuisance along with the strong tide.
I observed some strange garfish behaviour whilst sitting at anchor waiting for a fish. A banana skin floating seemed to hold some attraction to a couple of garfish. They were literally jumping over it as it drifted in the tide. I should have taken a photo. The last time I saw this happen was at the mouth of Beaulieu river when I saw one jumping over a large chunk of seaweed. Can anyone shed any light on this strange behaviour?

At least whilst you were short on fish, you had plenty of time to take some great photos.
