    what an excellent start to the year with an abundance of congers on a local wreck in the bay .with the first trip a 5hr night trip 26 congers up to 60lbs second night trip 23 congers up to 40lbs third trip 5 congers up to 20lbs with huss 12lbs dogs whiting and big pouting .so 54 conger caught and [ returned ] in 3 trips and countless lost on the surface which we estimate some of them over 60lb. It is difficult to give a weight on the surface with a torch at night.This picture has 3 conger caught all at the same time.
    Let's hope 2013 will be a good year with the weather for us all./Skipper Gareth williams

    It's been so long for a report {i'm not one for writing] This year so far has been good like the begining of last year the only problem being the weather .When I have been able to get out to the deeps the fishing has been brilliant spurs huss first tope of the year in march 25lb The best days fishing in the deeps was 63 spurs best ones 16lb the stacks have fished well too plenty of coal fish pollack 2-5 lb and with wrasse up to 3lb . On the mussel beds huss dogs dabs and codling I hope the cod fishing in May and June is as good as it was last year and the smooth hound fishing will soon be upon us I will try to make more effort with my reports and not leave it for so long one off the older Skippers Gareth williams

    On the reefs fished well with Dogs Huss Codling and Rays. Last weekend was excellent on the drift with Herring and hundreds of Coalfish up to 3lb and Pollack up to 4lb .You could see the schoals of Herring on the fish finder and the coaly under them.The Gannets are also a good sign as you see them diving in the distance for the Herring .
