2 short fishing trips today,huss,doggies,herring,gurnard,pollack and coalies whilst fishing at anchor with baited feathers.....best of the bunch were these 2 codling at 3.5lb each.
mackerel are now turning up on every trip but not in great numbers and water clarity is vital -

Put to sea with fresh lugworm for some uptiding and downtiding to see if the codling were inshore....during first part of the ebb tide dogfish and huss were caught and then as the tide ripped thru' we picked 6 codling but the biggest was 3/4lb but at least they showed along with a few small whiting.
In the afternoon we were tight in against the cliffs and one string of feathers produced 4 Pollack,biggest being 1.5lb,the we got stuck into a shoal of coalfish that averaged about 1 1/4lb.
herring have been caught from the boats at the village,still sporadic and the mackerel have yet to show even tho' they are being caught at port logan and in loch ryan at stranraer -

Had a full day on Friday,tried the offshore banks,under the cliffs and reef anchoring.We managed in the region of 20 dogfish ,but 6 of them were small huss.we also landed a lot of small whiting and a 10" codling.the Pollack fishing was fruitless.
the mackerel have still to show off portpatrick ,however they have been confirmed catches of joey mackerel at cairnryan and stranraer in the sea loch(loch ryan)
