    Report on-board Upholder

    July (early) Catch report
    Last weekend started with Lee Campbell from Benton catching a 14 lb ling on Mackerel baited daylights.
    This was Lee's first ever boat trip last Friday.

    Saturday's trip also managed a couple of decent fish but there was no great numbers of fish.
    Tony Crawford from Carlisle caught a 13 lb Cod on a 3 inch shad.

    Andrew Mackie caught the biggest fish of the weekend and his personal best ever fish a 15 lb Ling which took a Mackerel strip fished on a long flowing trace.

    Rick Fisher from Beverly North Yorkshire also caught his personal best ever fish a 12 lb 10 oz ling which also took a long flowing trace baited with Mackerel.

    The advantage of using a single hook on a long flowing trace is that when the fish is hooked there are no loose hooks to foul the wreck when retrieving the fish.
    For a good job there were a few good size fish as the number of fish caught are well down from June.
    As usual the cod fishing always seem to get harder when the Mackerel come in and at present the Mackerel are in great numbers here at Amble.
