    Report on-board Lady Margaret

    The fishing has been good during August after a rather subdued July. August has a reputation as being a difficult month but the last couple of years have produced some great fishing.

    The plaice fishing during the month has generally been very good. There have been lots of good sized keepers around and most trips have produced fish in the 1kg range. The end of the month saw a higher proportion of smaller fish and a reduction in numbers. The inshore drifting trips have also been producing lots of tub gurnards and black bream.

    Further out the anchored sessions have been producing a nice mixture of fish. The mackerel have been very erratic but there are some big ones around when you find them. There are lots of congers around along with tope and rays in addition to the usual dogfish.

    The bass continue to be in relatively short supply but there are some good sized fish around. Our last trip out produced some nice middle weight fish along with a ten pounder our second double figure bass of the year on "Lady Margaret".
