Fishing Report by Kevin McKie
on Size Matters (Craobh Haven, Argyll & Bute)
Mar 2014 by Kevin McKie
Report on-board Size Matters
Species caught: Cod, Dab, Dogfish, Five Bearded Rockling, Flounder, Herring, Ling, Lobster, Pollack, Pouting, Thornback Ray and Whiting.
Usually, March is a slow month when fishing in the North West but this year fishing was surprisingly well. This was likely due to not having a very cold winter, which has raised the temperature of the water, causing the spring fish to arrive earlier than usual.
While there is still a few Cod and Whiting, with good numbers of Rays, Flounder, Dabs and Plaice in the River Mersey, a new off-shore mark we fished was holding some good numbers of both Cod and Pollack. That being said, we still had a few hard days fishing off-shore this month, mainly due to harsh easterly winds.
Also, don't forget on April 23rd is our first Brigand Charters sweep stake competition where you could win £960 cash!!! Full details can be found under "Competitions".
Notable Charters:
On March 25th we had a small group of anglers on-board who fish with us every month. They had a good day before we even got to the fishing grounds. We encountered a pod of over 50 dolphins that where jumping out of the water and following the boat for about 30 minutes. When we did get to the fishing ground they totalled 14 Pollack to 4lb 10oz, 9 Cod to 3lb, plus Whiting and Pouting.
On March 26th we had a full boat of individuals on-board. We decided to fish the same rough ground as we did the day before. We totalled 15 Pollack to 5lb, 4 Cod to 3lb, 1 Ling, and plenty of whiting, dabs, and dogfish.
On March 27th we had our monthly trip with the lads from Taskers Angling on-board. We went back to the same grounds as we had fished the last two days and there were still plenty of fish showing on the sounder but it was hard going with the easterly wind - the fish just didn't want to know. We had a few Pollack, Cod, Whiting, Dab and Dogfish, but we did witness something we will never see again! Jimmy from Taskers Angling hooked something while on the drift over rough ground using a jelly worm. He said to me that it felt like he'd hooked some old rope as he was struggling to reel it in. I said it could be a sea sponge from the sea bed or a Lobster. When it came to the surface it was the biggest Lobster I have ever seen, about 6lb must have been 30 years old and it was hooked in the face. We let the old fella go to fight another day.
The Fish of the Month goes to Tom Aldwinckle (again) with his 6lb 5oz Pollack. Thats two months in a row now. Congratulations on your free individual charter, Tom!

Report on-board Mistress
Monday 31st March
Back Uptiding again today, on board we had a couple from Birmingham and and a regular lad from Leeds.
We started off steady away, taking a dozen fish in the first couple of hours, We moved around looking for better things taking a steady few fish each spot we went to, but it was hard work, non the less we tried plenty of marks picking away.
The three anglers finished up with around 25 Codlings for the day, reports of boats travelling distance had similar catch results too,
The most consistent bait remains squid and black gulley worm, but crab cart took a few through the day too

Sunday 30th March
We finally got away on Sunday, the day forecast was for the sea to die away all day which it did, but it was still a rolly polly sort of day with a ground swell hitting us side on all day.
I had a bunch of regulars on from Leeds who were keen to get at the fish. We worked our socks off for the lads and it payed off for us, our first mark was chucking a few out, and I was sure another mark nearby would fish a bit better - and it did!
At some points we had two or three rods in at a time, we moved as the tide eased and the fishing went dead until the flood tide came through, we moved again for the final time taking another 6 or 8 fish before home time.
The final tally saw the lads with just under 40 Codlings for the day, which I thought was good given the conditions.
All fish were between 2lb & 4lb
