had some of the boys from paisley out today....sea was flat and the sun shone bright and the request was for bull huss and spurdogs and thats what we got!
general consensus was that we had in excess of 70 spurdog with the best at 7lb 2oz with another at 6lb 14oz and they were coming up 2 at atime(mostly 3-4lb),the sea bed must have been carpeted with them!!we also caught a dozen bull huss with the biggest at 13lb 3oz.we also caught in excess of 40 doggies,the same in whiting but all about 6-8oz,1 ling,1 rockling,1 octopus,1 codling.
"fantastic day" was the quote from Ian
(pictured is the 13lb 3 oz huss) -

the wind has played havoc with our ability to put to sea,the sea is stirred and coloured and we have had to wait for the ebb tide to gain clarity
the most recent trips have produced haddock,codling,whiting,doggies,coalies,plenty of whiting,a couple of small huss and some pollack from the weeds under the cliffs(best is 6.5lb)
now is the time to start uptiding for the codling close in after a good rough sea....so if anyone is interested in that,drop me a line
