    Report on-board Falmouth Sea Fishing

    I have to admit, I couldn’t have hoped for a better start to the season aboard Carrick Lee. The kind weather and healthy work schedule have allowed us to take full advantage of the ongoing restrictions of commercial cod fishing.

    The lack of nets in mid channel, have allowed the cod and Pollack shoals to regenerate and this has had a massive impact on our own catches.

    From the early days of February this year, we have regularly caught more than 30 cod and Pollack in a days fishing.

    Our biggest cod to date was a massive 32lb caught by Tony Ellis 18 April. We have also managed 3 other cod of over 28lb and a 16lb Pollack.

    Most of the cod have been taken on artificial baits, such as white or blue 5” shads, jelly worms or side winders and the good old pirks and feathers. Our sponsors Tronix (UK) Ltd supply strung muppets in five different colours and they are great.

    Slowly the season is changing and the summer weather will bring the bass, bream and conger on to feed.

    Both Guy and my self look forward to the summer aboard Carrick Lee, and we now offer a varied range of trips for our customers. As well as our usual day trips, we do 4.30pm-10.30pm evening bass trips and special trips for stag parties.

    Hope to see you this year.
