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

Some good news at last after a decade of waiting I now have been given a mooring at La Collette which means I can get out at anytime so watch out it should be a good season.

Shore Fishing March 2010

Out today on the low 33ft tide lovely sunny afternoon and decided to try from the shore at the rear of G Castle using a surface lure due to the shallow water. A few black back gulls diving further out but nothing caught but a lovely day
