    Report on-board Brigand

    2024 brigand 1st trip

    First trip of 2024 for ustoday and the target species was Pollock.
    Always exciting to be heading out for the first trip of a new season so with a fantastic crew onbaord, full tanks of fuel, a determination to keep our 8 year, 100% catch rate intact we headed South in near perfect conditions.
    Water clarity is vital when targetting Pollock with lures and we could see the colour changes from 3 miles away, really stark .......and really positive as inshore clarity was poor to extremely poor.
    The first fish aboard was not particularly inspiring, a rather surprised looking Pouting! Then the guys got into it - 3 double figure fish on the bounce with probably the deepest Pollock that we have ever seen expertly boated by Max..... looked more like a Cod with a hugely distended belly, very unusual. A smattering of smaller Pollock in the 4-7lb range as we worked out around the wrecks before heading in before the forecast F5 on the nose kicked in.
    All in all, a solid start to the season with a wonderful crew and plenty of valuable intelligence gathered.
    Huge thanks to all who fished with us today, was an absolute pleasure sharing time at sea with you all.
    Best wishes
