January 2014 - The first trip of 2014 was spent anchored on Reef s and Banks and produced 10 different species which were Conger Eel,Undulate Ray,Blonde Ray,Small Eyed Ray,Bull Huss ,Spotted Ray. Whiting,Pouting,Dogfish and Poor Cod. The Best Blonde Ray was caught by Paul Cross from Kent which was his Personal Best Blonde weighing 21Ib(pictured). Andy Collings broke two of his Personal Bests with a 10Ib 2oz Bull Huss and a 4Ib 12oz Spotted Ray.There were numerous Congers caught up to 25Ib.The water was very coloured so pennel rigs loaded with Ammo Squid and Mackerel cocktails bait did the trick for all the fish. The fishing was certainly active on the Reefs and Banks for the time of year.
Hopefully we will get some settled weather which will also enable us to get out after the Big Pollack on the wrecks.
