Report on-board Silver Spray II
We are now into that quiet part of the year where if you are unlucky with the weather you might find a lot of your trips cancelled, which has been the case quite a lot lately. The inshore fishing for whiting and cod tailed off a little early this year, I put this down to a lack of settled weather, January isn’t renowned for being the best month weather wise but it’s been worse than usual. To keep the rods bending I decided to utilize our offshore fishing on the banks, even though you can’t sit it out all day on the stronger tides you can still head out for a couple of hours either side of slack in search of some different species. As you saw in last month’s report the rays and spurdogs were there in abundance and I’m happy to say it was much the same again this month, the brief period between the inshore fishing grinding to a halt and the wrecking for pollack leaves us with just the neap tides to head out to the offshore marks. Best fish in the last couple weeks goes to Gary Holmes with his new boat record undulate ray of 19lb 4oz, the ray took a mackerel bait just after slack water on a rough ground mark 15 miles off.
Even though it’s a bit earlier than usual with two nice days of settled weather this week I decided to get the first couple of wreck trips of the year under my belt. There were plenty of pollack to be had, all of a nice fat healthy stamp due to the numerous shoals of sprats and scad hovering around the wrecks. Whilst fishing a wreck just before slack water we had a big surprise in the form of a new boat record ling. Andy Deacon was fishing half a pout for a conger when the monster took the bait, after fifteen minutes of scrapping with the fish on his 15-20lb class ugly stick it hit the surface. Weighing in at 31lb 4oz it is certainly the biggest ling I’ve seen in my career so far, well done to Andy what a fish!!!
