    Report on-board Seadog charters

    Been enjoying some good weather and good fishing the last few days. With skate trips of 13/11/10/16 fish a day, to 199lbs.

    On Friday with only 3 guys on the boat I thought we would try a few new marks out. First off we found the mackerel for some fresh bait, then headed out to drift some ridges with not much luck. We’ve been finding fishing deeper this year seems to produce more fish, so moved onto another area and found the Spurs, every drop and up to 6/7lb. Next time we will have to get the anchor down and find the bigger ones!
    The plan was skate next, but again a slight change from the norm. We set the anchor down in deep water over an old wreck, 20 mins later we had the first skate on! Next up was a conger that fought as good any of the smaller summer skate �� ended with 10 skate and one conger of 45lbs.

    As usual for summer we are seeing lots of nice immature skate in the sound of jura. With some all new 30/50 class rods and braided line they provide great sport, and a bit less pain to the bigger fish we get in autumn to spring. Ofcourse we will see a few big girls come along too, some trips have seen them to just under 200lbs.
