    Report on-board Lucky Dip II

    Well the day started slow with only codling haddock and a few mackerel showing up on the first few drops. We decided a move was needed to target some Pollack on lightweight gear with ragworm baited leadheads, this seemed to pick out a few nice specimens but still relatively small so we worked a few marks picking up some hard fighting Pollack, a couple of Cuckoo wrasse and some nice Ballans too. With the tide still running the wrong way we anchored up to try for hounds and rays and wow. we picked up 15 ray with thornback in the majority but some nice spotted and blondes too. Also coming to the boat was a first for Robert and a nice Starry smouth hound going 8lb 10 on the scales. We also lost one nice fish after it made a few heavy runs and then wrapped the anchor warp!!!. Another move saw us back on the Pollack with mixed results but some cracking fighting fish upto 6lb. All these fish were released to fight another day baring a few Codling and Haddock. Check out the club "Silver Lures" for joining details.
