    Report on-board Silver Spray II

    June Monthly Report:

    For the last couple of years the bass have arrived on the last spring tide in May, for us on Silver Spray they made us wait a little longer this year until the start of June. The first hit of fish came on live sand eels, not always available but I think I will make the effort to get them more often after seeing the positive effect they have had. Live mackerel produced the bigger fish as you would expect but we are still waiting for our first double this season, although 9lb 4oz isn't far off. To keep us interested over slack water the rays have been brilliant fun with all varieties making an appearance. After bringing a new PB to the surface on his bass gear of 22lb Dave Griffin gave a brilliant display of skill by landing a 26lber on a 12lb class rod and fixed spool reel, a perfect way to top off a good day on the bass.
    The wrecks of the Herd Deep provided some fantastic pollock fishing on the return journey from Alderney. Using live mackerel, the bigger the better, fished on a 6 foot trace and worked very slowly up over the wreckage the hard fighting pollock just couldn’t resist. Colin Jones equalled his personal best of 16lb, a very well conditioned fish that fought all the way to the top in nearly 300 feet of water. As well as the pollock the cod have been coming in good numbers into the high teens, mostly taking brightly coloured lures but some on the live baits as well. It usually late June when the larger fish arrive off Poole so fingers crossed next time I’ll writing about some quality as well as quantity.
