    Report on-board Warrior

    August has come and gone in the blink of an eye, and I must admit, it has been a tough one.
    At the beginning of the month, the mackerel were showing an average of one per day, increasing to around 7-8 a day average by the end of the month. This made our half days a little more difficult. Thankfully, the harbour has produced a nice number of fish for us this summer and has saved the day on many occasions. Instead of drifting for mackerel for our trips we were anchoring up and finding a whole new variety of species for our beginners. We found ourselves relying on catching dogfish, smoothound and the odd ray amongst other species on most days.
    Our full days gave a good opportunity to go further afield. This month has thrown a few nice fish our way including a 4 and half lb Brill, 26lb Blonde Ray, and lots of double figure bass, 12lb being the biggest. Of course this was a very welcoming sight and has made all the hard work pay off.
    A few species that were a nice surprise in August were Gilthead Bream, Silver eel and Squid, all coming to worm Baits.
    The best part of the last week has been the very welcoming sight of mackerel, with our best day being 95 in an hour, this was our best mackerel trip of the year so far. Also the amount of shoal bass that has turned up has been phenomenal and nice to see, giving us something to have a play with on our way in and out on trips.
    Overall a very productive month considering the slow start we had. Our half days are now coming to an end, however they are still available on a charter basis, and throughout the October Half Term.
