Report on-board Hard Labour
Sat 4th was booked as a hound fishing trip and it did not dissapoint. With one of our regular crews onboard and a bucket full of prime peeler crab we headed back to a mark fished the previous week. from the off sport was hectic with double, triple and quadruple hook ups. Many of the fish boated were double figure fish and heaviest for the day a shade under 15lb. The vast majority of the fish went back to fight another day, with a few of the smaller males kept by the party for the pot. Tally for the day was 77 hounds ranging from 4lb to 14lb 10oz.
Sun 5th another one of our regular crews and a mixed day of hound and bass fishing was asked for. The bass fishing was slow to be fair but approx 15 bass were boated up to 3.5lb. Again we went to the same spot as the day before for the hounds and again from the moment the hook was in the mud, the fish were obliging. After a couple of hours we started losing the tide and the fish with it. Final tally was 28 hounds biggest for the day a touch over 12lb.
A brilliant weekend of sport fishing on light gear
