    Report on-board Discovery

    August 2016
    August started off well with Tope to 48lbs being taken,
    but with the weather again this year being against us we struggled to chase offshore when we did we had plenty of Mackerel some of the smallest i have seen the wrecks produced Pollack and Ling and all the usual stuff.one day i remember is finishing Tope fishing and just trying a drift on a wreck and all rods bent over into Pollack not very big big but around the 5lb mark it was nice to see the lads using our gear to have one drift and all catching a pollack
    We where still catching Tope towards the end of August although they are moving further offshore now,
    fishing inshore we are still catching smoothounds,dogs Plaice ,dabs, the Rock Channel this year produced Huss to 12lbs and rays to 10lbs and loads of small Tope which is a nice sign we even had Mackerel with one night on the way in a massive shoal was erupting out off the water no more than 500mts from Perch Rock light house .
    well the Winter is nearly upon us we have only a few dates left for the Cod fishing the River has to offer in the winter months Gary the skipper
    Picture to the right is Johnathon Lamb with a 43lb Tope.
