  • 05/2019 Fishing Report by Nigel Lihou on Optimist (Brixham, Devon)

    May 2019 by Nigel Lihou

    Report on-board Optimist

    May proved to be a strange month with half day trips to the inshore wrecks out to 12miles producing very little except for the bountiful Pouting (aka Brixham Cod). There are Pollack but not very big, There are big Pollack out there but the distances travelled are in the region of 30 to 40 miles out. (more travelling time less fishing)

    The Skerries are as usual producing a variety of fish and have good days and bad days and we have seen some really good Plaice aboard already this year.

    Don't forget our competition throughout the months of June, July and August we will be recording the size, weight and dimensions of every Ray caught aboard Optimist, Tagging and Releasing the Rays and the Angler with the biggest will have a whole day trip of their choice during September for them and up to 5 friends and a tackle prize courtesy of Brixham Bait and Tackle. Don't miss out book up for your chance to be in the competition.
