Good start to the spring season after being beaten up for the last few months by gale force 6 and 7's sneaking up behind us. A trip out with my Polish friends yesterday, and a north-easterly 5 down to nothing in the afternoon, with blinding sunshine and flat sea. All topped off with some quality fish ... plenty of Ling, Cod, Pollock, Coalfish and Whiting. Let's hope this is a sign of good things to come!
Tight lines everyone!
Winter is here but the summer fish are also, still plenty of good Pollock and Ling also picking up few reasonable size Cod . Cod seem to be more prolific on the neaps and the Ling on the springs .
We are running singles days on Sundays and we are still offering whole boat hire 7 days a week.
Well, what can I say. The season kicked off with mackerel abundant then all of a sudden they were gone! However. having twigged this and purchased a freezer load of squid the fishing has still been very good with big bags of ling,,whiting, some cod and pollock although a little smaller than the norm. Now the mackerel are back and the cod and pollock are getting bigger. Blue sharks seam to be of a bigger stamp this year with a couple over the 100lb so far.
Mack are still a bit hard to find but enough for bait with a few silver darlings mixed in .
Bottom fishing picking up , a few nice ling today among a few pollock and such although still quite small.
