    Report on-board Grey Viking

    Well we are now getting longer stints at sea with periods of settled weather at last, which is just as well as the wreck fishing is in good form at the moment. Cod and Pollack are still responding to lures on the drift but the best action is at anchor with bait, Cuttle and Mackerel flappers are doing the business. In the last few weeks we've seen more Ling than anyone can remember in recent years with one day alone producing 12 on the boat. The best went 22lbs and there are bigger still about. Plenty of summer Cod about in the 4lbs to 10lbs class but this week saw a cracking specimen of 24lbs on the boat, which is exceptional for a summer Cod. The Congers are playing too with specimens up to 65lbs so far but there are plenty of bigger ones down there. Pollack are taking bait too with doubles still being landed and baited feathers are producing very good Black Bream too, the best just over 4lbs in recent weeks. So, if you want to book a trip wreck fishing get in quick, I have a handful of dates left this year on suitable tides and they are going fast!
