Choppy conditions

Out by myself today wind sw 4 swell making it very difficult fished all marks and found one fish only at twin peaks about 2hrs before low tide. Tide was 34ft. The fish took an orange home made Jersey Wonder.

Where have the bass gone

Out with Shaun today every spot tried on the south east coast but nothing. Had to move to St. Aubins for Shaun to pick up a 4lb fish on one of my homemade lures.I am told that a lot of cuttlefish are in the gutters maybe they are obsessed with squid

2 Fis in 2 Casts

out on the low tide a beautiful day flat calm 31ft  out to near the petit demi first cast a fish of around 5lb on a manns longtail worm then swiftly followed by a fish of just under 3lbs. Tide had just turned and the fish were up stream of the head

Home made lures do work

Well out today to try these home made Jersey Wonders and up the Southeast to Gannet Gulley where I took a smallish fish

Derek also took 3 fish the biggest being around 3lbs. Moving onto St.Aubins saw some bird movement but not enough. Having said that there were a lot of gulls of Icho but could not locate the fish. I also took a very small Gurnard at St. Aubins

Make your own soft plastics

Well I thought I give it a go and took the plunge and ordered some mold making gear from ebay then converted some sluggos and swim senkos into one and made a mold

tomorrow I will attempt to meltdown some old soft plastics and see what happens

Hard worms come good

Out today on the south east coast of Jersey not many other boats out as you could hardly blame them with  a choppy sea and heavy drizzle,

However we managed 7 fish , Derek having his only fish on his first cast a fish of around 3lb came to the boat on a swim senko from SH.t gulley, I then took two fish again around 3lb tucked in behind a reef which took my purple redgill just off the entrance to Gannet Gulley. Moving out onto deeper water I cast my 9inch Manns Hard nose with a curly tail up against a rock in about 25ft of water and a 3.5fish came to the boat. This was again followed by another slightly smaller fish which took the same lure.







The second fish on this lure has almost  devoured the lure.

I managed a further 2 fish to round the day off

Two dozen fish today

Yes Out this time at Seymour Jersey very choppy at first before the wind dropped as the tide dropped to extremely low levels.

No double figure fish today. The fishing was patchy but we managed 24 bass between us.A few fish at just over 3lbs more in the 2-3 lb range, and a fair number of smaller fish who were keen to attach themselves to our swim senkos and redgills


Concentration is required and is etched across Derek's face

Fish were caught at the point the reef and the offshore reefs
