We have been pretty busy this last few weeks, lots of trips with lots of fish. While the wrecks seem to be taking a rest we have been targeting the banks and reefs taking huge amounts of fish. We have been getting plenty of double figure Huss, lots of codling, whiting Haddock and Gurnard. A few unexpected Tope runs along with an epic battle this Sunday with a large fish, probably a large Skate, taking baits meant for the Huss. Big enough to pull the boat around while at anchor. More big baits will be getting put down over the next couple of months!

The last few weeks have seen an improvement if the fishing. We have had large numbers of Pollack to 7lb, Ling to 6lb, Bib, Huss, Gurnard and some lovely Wrasse including a nice specimen Cuckoo over 1.4lb. Our trips are regularly putting over 100 fish on deck with most returned to fight another day. Weekends are booking up quick but we are offering mid week deals on full day bookings.

Two nice trips out today onto two different wrecks. One is a new wreck that I have been checking out and is producing some nice sized Pouting, Codling and Haddock along with the usual doggie contingent. We have landed more codling and whiting along with a Huss weighing 6lb. The mackerel are still sparse but the inshore waters have cleared over the last few days and lots of bait fish showing up on sounders now. We hope to start seeing some Tope soon to.

A quick update. This weather is making heavy going of things out at Portpatrick but when we get out we are getting some quality Pollack, Haddock, and Codling along with the usual Dogs and Bull Huss. The mackerel are sparse although a few are showing up, there are some large shoals of bait fish around so everything should start kick off really well soon. Looking forward to getting onto some Tope later in the year.

We had a couple of short charters out today and racked up 7 species including Huss, codling, haddock, whiting and LSDs too. Nothing of any real size but put smiles on everyones faces as two youngsters were new to fishing. The mackerel are not far away now and the wrecks seem to be filling up well. we have also had some success from close in using light weight tackle and various jellies! Happy days.

Have been making good use of this more settled weather to get out and check some of our marks. Very happy to see they are holding good stocks of fish on them with good size Pollack, Coalies and a few Codling coming up on the rods. Looking forward to checking out some more over this next few weeks and enjoying some fresh fish suppers!!
getting lots of interest for the light weight fishing too on both lure and fly!
