Pictured is Brian Stockford with a 13 pounder. SHARK ATTACK - Charlie Cole was reeling up a Pout when he saw his leader knot and then his rod bent over with a fair amount of line being stripped off then all went slack as he brought his tackle aboard he saw his trace had been chewed in half and frayed by a toothy critter.

My first wreck trip of 2017 produced a variety of size Pollack along with a Bass and a real bonus a Coalfish. Certainly when the tide was at it's peak the best lures were Bubble Gum Pink Red Gills fished on long traces and flying collar rigs certainly did the trick. Pictured is Earl Coates with an 11Ib 3oz Pollack, he also caught several other Pollack and a 5Ib Bass.
