    Report on-board Size Matters

    [This report was written when Size Matters was operating from Plymouth]

    The weather has put a stop to the fishing again! We have had some very good days this week catching Cod to 20lb 8oz, Pollack to 14lb and Ling to 10lb. First off I had Crediton SAC onboard for there monthly trip they totalled 62 Cod, Pollack and Ling. Then I had a group of individuals onboard for two days first day was the hardest day I have had this year they only managed 20 Pollack all day. There was lots of fish showing on the sounder but would not feed at all and the fish we caught where coughing up tiny sandeels. The worst part about it was some of the lads onboard had never been to Plymouth before and I wanted to show them what's on offer. I also had some old boys on telling me what the fishing was like in Plymouth 30 years ago, that didn't help either.
    At the end of the first day I said to all the lads onboard that's the worst day I have had this year so tomorrow we are sailing at 6am and we won't be back in till you fill the boat with fish.
    Next morning we set off, the first two marks we fished where very slow, then I hit my third mark of the day when the tide was just right. The old saying goes ( it's like shelling peas) for the next 3 hours the lads boated over 80 Pollack and Ling, just what I had hope for and most of all the lads got to sample the fine fishing on offer from a Plymouth. If you would like to read more about the fishing onboard Size Matters from Plymouth check out the Sea Angler Magazine page 62, Dave Lewis had done a five page article and it's well worth a read.
