6hr trip this one....back out to the top end of the 5 mile reef.....loads of whiting,pout,gurnards,small(8" codling) and a 16lb ling for George Cope who is 80 years old!...it was 2/3rds the length of him! no mackerel offshore but plenty at the bell buoy....100 maybe more in 30 mins and a 3lb codling.went for a drift off the pier end,just out of spinner casting range and the mackerel were even thicker...4 or 5 at a time and 2 drifts produced over 80 fish!.....the mackerel are close in at early doors and last thing at night/dusk and plenty of them.

took 3 guys out today and after yesterdays easterly blow the water was dirty...only a 3 hour trip so we tried the inshore wrecks and rough ground,nothing major but managed a 3lb haddock,2lb whiting and a 1lb dab....if only the lads were in the summer festival we would've made it onto the species board......ah well!

2 short trips today...yesterdays easterly wind stirred up the water and made the mackerel non-existant inside 3 miles....we did however manage a 3lb haddock, a 2lb whiting, a 1lb dab plus pout and gurnard this morning and then this afternoon (2 hr trip)we managed at least 60 whiting coming up 2 and 3 at a time inside 1 mile...............as always we try for less travelling and more fishing!

mackerel have truly arrived in strength with over 300 being landed today(saturday) from the 5 mile grounds...not much else due to strong wind and tide combination
