  • 27/04/2024 Fishing Report by Kevin Lavis

    27 Apr 2024 by Kevin Lavis

    After a bit of a lay up due to waiting on replacement parts we got back out for a days charter over the weekend.

    Lads were treated to some fine quality Pollack on the sidewinder lures and live baits.

    There's plenty of fish ont he grounds now so time to stock up on the fillets and get the rods bending! I was also totally made up with seeing a other Comber!

    With more good weather on the horizon we will be out filling your boots with quality fish from a range of species.

    Now the homework is done, time to put the anglers on the fish...
    Another night time break in the winds, taking some local rods out to the ray grounds.
    Stacks of small eyed rays, a few blonde rays, a spotted ray, a stack of whiting (even enough left for me after the trip) and a few hard fighting congers too. Superb fun in 50 feet of water!

    A rare play day for relief skipper kev!
    Joined by the boss we headed out to pinpoint where the rays are - we've had loads of ray on the evening trips this season but only 2-3 per trip, they must be holding up somewhere...
    Within minutes of dropping the lines in the rays were feeding, and feeding hard. With only the two of us onboard it was manic! We lost count at 26 rays, mainly small eyed up to 12.75lb but a few blondes to 14lb there too.
    In just 2 hours of fishing we smashed through 4 packs of sandeel, 3 boxes of squid and a pack on anchovy. When the baits are only big enough for 3/0 hooks, that a lot of fish!!!
    An awesome afternoon out with the Mrs and the homework done for the charters.

    The heavens opened!
    Wow what a down pour! So much rain I thought we saw the Ark go by at one point.
    Making the most of the break in the winds we headed out for some huss and congers before coming back under the cliff to top up on some whiting.
    The huss played ball, dozens to mid doubles and a good stamp of eels into the late 20's. Finished off with a few buckets of 1-8 to 2-12 whiting.
    An awesome way to spend a few hours of an evening.
