A few fish over the last week

with Autumn fast approaching or actually here it is important that we make the most of the good days left. So with this in mind I ventured out with Derek on the high tide last week in thick fog. We managed to locate the mark and I was using the madness shad whilst Derek stuck to the savage gear slug.

Fish were difficult to find but I managed to hook a few on the shad

The fish later changed their feeding preference and began taking the surface lures. I think we had a dozen fish that day. The quiet period was half an hour either side of high tide,

Yesterday we had a break in the strong winds and again we were out this time over the low. Fish were again sporadic and Derek managed to take a number of fish on various reefs. I kept missing bites but I was using the largest savage gear slug whilst Derek was using the medium sized ones.

After the tide turned we moved to another mark where we picked up a few more fish including a nice 5.5lb fish for me

Heavy metal fan

having returned from my holiday and also being ill, I ventured out by myself today to try a few different spots. I decided to use a metal 28gm P Booy and using a sink and draw method soon hooked into a number of pollack.

I then hooked into a lovely bright red wrasse which weighed in around the 5lb mark

I moved west and noticed that netters had laid nets all around Elizabeth castle and St.Aubins. But fishing a mark I know off Portelet I picked up a number of bass around a head that was just uncovering

A nice day out in calm conditions
