    Report on-board Optimist

    GOOD NEWS: May /June

    Things differently seem behind this year, but with the resent turn of warm weather it seems to have kicked the fishing off, down are end of the country. This last weekend showing a up turn in the fishing, plenty of bream and smooth hounds on the inshore rock marks. The mackerel are now showing up, but can be a bit hit and miss, and the Tope seem to have also made a bit of a later appearance but are now starting to show in good numbers.
    I got out on the mid channel deep water reef marks for the first time this year on Sunday, with good results, plenty of Pollock a few Cod the best weighing 16lbs 10oz (nice on a shad!). So I don’t think it will be long before more Cod and less Pollock are caught. The fish are stuffed full of sprats, so it will be interesting to see if it happens on the brittle stars this year!
    I am looking to get out on the deep water reefs a bit more this year, but with the price of diesel at the moment I have to make sure I run with a full boat, “or the cost of a full boat“!
