Pollack Pollack and Fisheries

The last two days have seen lovely sunshine and decent tides however the water remains crystal clear, out with Derek on Tuesday S/E coast and we just had Pollack and also boarded by fisheries. Yesterday fished up south coast and again boarded by fisheries.
 
Still no Bass but as I write I know that Derek has had at least 5 Bass today at the Point

First Bass 2010

First bass at last all be it small around 1.5 lbs caught at OB (inner) this morning with Derek Buesnel,nothing else seen but a few birds sat on the water in the area

Wrasse fishing

Out with Derek today at Icho tower, water flat calm and very clear, not a sign of a bass. Derek had some pollack on  a berkley gulp. I stuck some mackeral feathers on and took this wrasse which weighed in at just under 6.5lbs

First Mackerel of the Year

out with Derek today on a lovely afternoon just before low tide  I believe the height of the tide was about 29ft we had about 20 mackerel just off Corbiere. Also a lot of sandeel about so bodes well for Bass

Cannot Find Bass

all the way along the S/E Coast today without a sniff of a bass, although Derek managed to salvage the day with a Pollack on a Gulp. I did have a wrass attempt to go for my lure but turned away at the last minute.

May be it has something to do with the volcanic ash cloud that is above us and stopping all flights in and out of Jersey.Only time will tell if the ash wil affect the weather this summer,

Well out tomorrow and we will see what that brings

First Snipe (garfish) Today

out with Derek  on a lovely sunny day on south east coast of Jersey however very small tide of about 25 ft not a sign of a bass however quiet a few snipe around leading to Derek hooking a snipe using a Berkley Gulp. The fish being returned without harm.
Marine petrol has now reached 77p a litre here in Jerset

Only Pollack today

out today on the low tide however water discoloured and choppy after yesterday's blow.Fished south east coast on the low of a 36ft tide,totall caught 1 pollack with a weight of 2.5 lbs caught on purple swim senko 12g jig head. caught in main G island gutter.

Used my bogagrips for first time I thought they were excellent and weighed the fish quickly before returning it
