    Report on-board Duke IV

    With spring comes a fresh run of fish, the Skate are all over our area and the Hounds are running, looking for the crab that are peeling right now.
    We have been getting great catches recently on the very popular individuals trips with up to 15 Skate in a day along with Smoothounds, Whiting, Bass and the odd Codling.
    Herring remains the most reliable bait for the Skate with crab being best for the Hounds although lugworm remains effective for all species, probably because the best of the fishing has been within 3 miles of land.
    The Cod are now moving offshore and will settle on the wrecks feasting on the pouting etc, packing on the weight, we also will be hoping for a good run of Pollack this year, great fighting fish to compliment the Cod.
    We will be looking to head offshore now to the wrecks and have space on the 28th May.
