Fishing Report by Rich Cope

Finally got my engine back in the boat and back in the water yesterday. The engine still needs running in so decided on a slow run out to a few marks to build a few hours up!
we tried a couple of patches of ground on the way out to a wreck that i thought would throw a few fish up for us. the ground never produced any fish, but we picked a few off the wreck, nothing enormous, biggest fish was maybe 6 or 7lb
All the fish were taken on shads of varying colours.

I had a party of novices booked today, with only a couple of them having fished before. seeing as we did so well yesterday, I headed back to the same mark. It was a bit lumpy on the way out with a fairly large, long, rolling ground swell, and it was forecast to grow through the day. Well we settled in at anchor again and caught the last of the ebb tide. It was the same as yesterday, we were straight into bites and fish! everybody was catching! the conditions were no where near as nice though, we had rain and it was a bit colder too. One of the lads Tom, who had fished before soon started showing the rest of the party how to go on, he managed a couple of double shots of cod on the same line! there is a huge amount of fish showing on the uptiding grounds this year.
the tide eased and I thought the bites would dry up with it, but the lads & lasses kept a steady stream of fish coming over the gunnels. as the tide began flooding I repositioned the boat and we got a fast flurry of better fish, within around ten minutes we had a further 6 or 7 fish aboard. The crew finally had had enough with the poor conditions and were wet through from the rain and decided on an early finish. Again we had a great day out with plenty of fish. -

I had a maintenance day today with my mate Keith. after the job was finished with the weather as nice as it was, i decided on a run off uptiding for a few hours. well, what a day, we fished for about 3 and half hours. as soon as the anchor was dropped and bait cast the bites came thick and fast. it was non stop action the whole time we were out. in the short time we managed over 20 codlings, there were a few chuck backs and the biggest took the scales round to 13lb. we used squid, mussel, black lug worm, the most productive was squid and mussel cocktail. the winter sport this year has been amazing so far, i think we will be seeing some big fish caught this year on the uptiding festival.

With a break in the weather today, and no fishing party booked I had a run off uptiding with one of my regular lads Kieth for a jolly. We were kept busy all day with bites, both of us had a good few codlings and a few pout. squid, worm and mussel doing the damage. The signs are there for some great winter sport

The lads yesterday booked a days wrecking as they had never been before. things got off to a slow start but picked up through the day after a bit of guidance. The wreck we finished on really started fishing well on the last few drifts but we had to leave it to get in. We ended up with Ling to 15lb again, Cod to 7lb and a few pollack too.

Given the large tides, we had a great day wreck fishing. We drifted using jellyworms until the tide eased allowing us to drop our bait rigs down fishing with mackerel and squid. everybody had a great day with Ling to 15lb, Cod to 7lb and Pollack to 7lb. Other fish included in the catch were, Whiting, Pouting, Poor Cod, Coalie and Mackerel.
