Photo's from today's 6 hour morning trip
Sea Conditions were not ideal with a good amount of lift in places, so we took shelter from the northerly winds and targeted Thornback rays as the tide eased we braved the swells to have a last hour having a go for Cod.
Overall the lads had a great day which turned out to be quite a species hunt as they managed to catch 25 thornback rays, a Spotted Ray, 2 Brill, a Lessor Spotted Dogfish, several dabs and a good few codling.
heaviest Fish was a 6lb 8oz Thornback Ray
All but 5 of the largest rays were returned to fight another day as well as the brill, and Dogfish as the anglers wanted to try a skate wing. -

Some belting fish turning up today with a 9lb 4oz Pollock Boarded as well as two 8lb Cod.
overall the anglers had a good selection of cod, Pollock, Coalfish and a Ballen Wrasse.
Not bad fishing for inshore with neap tides hopefully as the tides build we see even better catches
The water is clearing in patches but looks like the algae is starting to discolour it too. -

Finally got a couple of trips fishing this week with the anglers getting some nice bags of fish.
Fishing is steady away with plenty of codlings and a few whiting about.
Thursday the weather was cold but settled we only had 4 anglers aboard as 1 had cancelled and the other 3 did not turn up.
but the lads had a good a amount of plump Codlings with over 30 in a 6 hour trip heaviest fish was around 5 lb.
Friday we had another 6 hour trip fishing again was pretty much the same but with a few more larger fish around the 3 to 4lb area the weather started out brilliant like a summers day but around lunchtime the winds became stronger and the sea conditions deteriorated the anglers carried on fishing for a few hours in the conditions but decided to call the trip short by an hour as the fishing became difficult.
Saturday we had a 8 hour trip and we travelled further afield which seamed to produce a better stamp of fish but not as many as the previous days so we travelled to the same ground we fished Thursday and Friday and again they were really productive yet again.
Heaviest Fish today was 7lb.
The Anglers have used a good mix of baits over the 3 days but overall Squid and Crab Cart seamed to be the best all round bait tipped with other baits like razor and lugworm. -

We finally got a break in the weather and had a good trip out with most anglers getting 8 or so fish each. Unfortunately nothing massive with all the fish been from a couple of pound to just under 5.
Had plenty of porpoise and seals around us most of the day and plenty of banter from the anglers. -
