    Report on-board Size Matters

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

    Just steaming back to Plymouth from Guernsey after another cracking trip.

    I had a group of regulars on from Bristol who fish with me every month.

    This time they brought with them a load of Jonny Sadler home made plonker lures.

    They looked like a type of slow jig with a mackerel shrink wrap on them, they weighed 7oz to 10oz with two assist hooks on.

    Over slack water they where deadly especially on the inshore reefs around Jersey.

    Andy Cottle caught a monster 7lb 4oz Ballan Wrasse on the plonker lure!!

    The photo doesn’t do it justice it was 22 inch long and as fat as a rugby ball, by far the biggest Wrasse I have ever seen and a fish of a life time.

    The next drift seen Andy catch his first ever John Dory and the following drift Dennis and Sean both caught John Dory!!

    Three John Dory’s in two drifts, the plonker lure was doing the business.

    Each day for about an hour over slack water the lads used the plonker lure over the inshore reefs accounting for, Ling to 25lb, Pollack to 13lb 8oz, Cod to 12lb.

    The Banks produced, Blonde Ray,
    Undulated Ray, Turbot,
    Gurnard and the dreaded Dogfish.

    At times the Gurnard and Dogfish where a big pain stealing our Turbot baits.

    The Bream fishing was very good especially on the smaller tides, most where around 1lb but there was good numbers of fish to 2lb.

    The wrecks on the way over and on the way back produced, Ling to 20lb, Pollack to 12lb and Cod to 6lb.

    Every time we go to Guernsey we are always trying to find new marks to fish to give our anglers the best opportunity to catch there dream fish.

    Sadly all our Guernsey trips for 2019 are fully book by very wise anglers who know that,
    Size Matters is the boat that lets the fishing do the talking.

    Thanks
