    We left the marina early as we had decided to travel off shore to some banks,
    So that we could have a look for some early Bull Huss, Well we did not find any, so we covered a 35 mile round trip which produced Thornback Rays between 5lbs and 13lbs 3 oz the 13lbs 3 oz one was caught by Lea from Coventry.

    FEB 2016
    Fishing in February has been different to last year.I think this is because of the vast amounts of freshwater that we have had early on in the season,we have had days with 12 cod caught and days with 1 or 2 cod,but
    we always ask the lads what they want to do if they want to scratch around or sit it out for Cod,A recent trip we had we welcomed Ian Brown back with us he had been out with us once before and managed 7 cod himself that day, We left the Marina and thought we would try an old mark as there was only a couple of boats out and it would not be too crowded,so we set off down the river and baited the lads up it was not long before Ian had a nice bite and produced a 10lbs Cod whilst i was dealing with his fish. I gave him another rig which i had prebaited whilst i was weighing the 10bs cod he said he had another bite,It turned out to be a Cod of 13lbs 8 oz not bad for his second trip total fish count that day was 11 cod, another day produced Cod, Flounder .Whiting , Dabs and a Plaice all the fish caught are fresh fish just come into the river.

    Summer 2015 so far
    The Wind has been a major problem this summer with the strong westerlys we have to date blown off 55 trips since Christmas.
    When we got out early on there was plenty of Mackerel in big shoals but as the wind chopped the sea up it dispersed the shoals.
    The Wrecks produced Codling,Pollack,Ling and the usual bits and pieces but these became patchy so we concentrated on bottom fishing,We have taken plenty of Smoothounds into double figures inshore.Offshore we have targeted Tope we have boated over 30 Tope between 33lbs and 48lbs this does not sound a lot but for the amount of trips offshore fishing for them it averages out at 5 per trip. a day to remember was a group of girls on a Hen Doo who wanted to try fishing and boating so we set off early morning whist travelling offshore the girls noticed some pics of Tope on our notice board and asked if they could catch one so we changed there rigs altered our course and headed to our Tope mark,when we arrived we explained how when we get one, that we would expect them to hold the Tope with our help. Well they had 9 runs and boated 4 between 33lbs and 41lbs before we could pass the fish to them they all had there hands out to hold it well done Hannah and the girls the following day we had guys with there own tackle that had opted to use there own gear, a very big Tope was lost because the guy only had 100mts of line on his reel so if you want to fish for big fish make sure your reels are filled up correctly Gary The Skipper.
