Bright and Breezy

Force4  blowing up to force 5 N/W made it uncomfortable to say  the least on a falling 34ft however bright and sunny. I was determined to stop Derek beating me. But it was not to be with Derek taking a fish of 5.5 lbs and 4.5lbs at twin peaks with 2 more fish at the western entrance of gannet gulley.

I took one small fish at the lagoon near Rhino rock mostly all caught on redgills

Derek with his largest fish

Beaten by Buesnel

out with Derek in his boat a plaesant day cloudy with a light southerly wind but disappointing 7 fish only the biggest being around 2.5 lbs, most caught on the offshore oyster beds whilst a few more caught at the point and one near the lagoon.

Swim senkos outfishing everything else at present

Choppy seas

out on a small tide 27 ft choppy seas with a southerly 4 wind I caught 2 pollack whilst Derek caught 4 bass biggest about 3.5 lbs whilst the others were between 2.5 and 3.5 Mostly caught on redgills,2 near top end of gannet gulley whilst one was caught at icho gulley and one at green island

Redgills do the business

Out with Shaun Du V  39ft tide 4 Northerly wind, Drifted Du Val gulley approx 2.5 hours before low resulting tow fish at 3.5 lbs and 4.5 lbs to redgill and swim senko then moved over to end of gulley at icho resulted in another fish at 4lbs. Then went over to Gannet Gulley and tried rocks just off resulted in fish at 2.5 last fish taken drifting back from margaret rocks another 3.5 lb fish

Larger fish today

out wth Derek towards Icho on a huge 39ft tide and the tide dropping like a stone, fish found at Dereks reef bring 3 to the boat with an average weight of 3lbs and later after the tide turned 2 more caught west side of gannet gulley all on redgills

Finger rock

out with Derek on his boat I found the fishing hard yet using the same swim senko as Derek he had 11 whilst I had only 5.Most of the fish were caught at finger rock a few hours before low tide. The tide being 39ft with a 3-4 North west windy out tomorrow in my boat so we see what that brings

Not much luck more Dolphins than Bass

out with Stuart Gowland today expecting a good result for a 33ft but were disappointed tried most of the spots and had a few bites but nothing more. Dolphins playing around icho for ages in shallow water. Only one fish came to the boat outside edge of gannet gulley, about 2lbs on manns hardnose.Stuart had a nice Pollack plus a further wrasse and pollack coming to the boat.

Derek had 9 fish at Seymour includinga 4.5lb fish

The boat bass record went this weekend at

16lb 1oz I believe caught on live sandeel

A breezy day

out with Derek at ST nine fish came to the boat at offshore oyster beds and reefs nothing bigger than 3lbs as per usual.

Manns hardnose worm being very popular at present I wish I had ordered more from Tacklewarehouse

Out with Derek today 30ft tide with a westerley wind We had 5 fish one in the main gully at Icho followed by 4 more in Gannet gulley all on soft plastics.

Also had a nice Pollack of over 3lbs and some Mackerel
