June has been an exellent month for fishing, with good catches of Rays,Bream and Smoothounds and the occasional Bass.
The Mackeral fishing has been the best that we have seen for years !
The start of July has brought windy weather but the fishing has been just as good.
Lets hope the rest of the summer continues in the same way.
Here is a photo of some Rays landed by locals. They caught 14 in total ranging from 4lbs to 15lbs including a 7lb Bass. -

10th June Off shore fishing trip.
It was raining hard for the first 2 hours of our journey but many cups of tea and the excitement of a good days angling was enough to keep morale high.
The day just got better and better !!!
Steve Walters from Eastleigh who had been requesting to catch Bass for weeks had his dream come true as he caught 11 Bass, the best weighing in at 11lbs. Tim the crew had his work cut out netting the catch and looking after the lads !
We caught 26 all together with a box of Polluck ,the best weighing in at 14lbs.
As the the wind picked up we headed for home.
A good day out enjoyed by all. -
