    We finally got a trip out today after the strong winds we have had for the past week or so making the sea unfishable.

    Photos showing some of our customers catch in Today's 5 Hour rough ground trip, nothing massive with majority of the fish been cod around the 2 to 4lb area with a few touching 5lb the lads managed to board over 50 fish in total with a few nice pollock showing and several billet

    Not ideal conditions today with very little tide and a lazy swell but still very promising when the anglers managed to get a few nice fish a piece.

    Photo's from today's 6 hour morning trip

    Sea Conditions were not ideal with a good amount of lift in places, so we took shelter from the northerly winds and targeted Thornback rays as the tide eased we braved the swells to have a last hour having a go for Cod.

    Overall the lads had a great day which turned out to be quite a species hunt as they managed to catch 25 thornback rays, a Spotted Ray, 2 Brill, a Lessor Spotted Dogfish, several dabs and a good few codling.
    heaviest Fish was a 6lb 8oz Thornback Ray

    All but 5 of the largest rays were returned to fight another day as well as the brill, and Dogfish as the anglers wanted to try a skate wing.

    Photos from our 8 Hour Trip Today

    Some belting fish turning up today with a 9lb 4oz Pollock Boarded as well as two 8lb Cod.

    overall the anglers had a good selection of cod, Pollock, Coalfish and a Ballen Wrasse.

    Not bad fishing for inshore with neap tides hopefully as the tides build we see even better catches

    The water is clearing in patches but looks like the algae is starting to discolour it too.

    The last few weeks we have been really struggling to get out with sea conditions and with poor conditions the fishing has been quite slow.

    Joint heaviest fish was two Pollock just shy of 8lb both nearly identical.

    Alot of size codling were returned to fight another day

    We only had 5 anglers fishing who managed to catch 2 to 3 fish each

    Finally got a couple of trips fishing this week with the anglers getting some nice bags of fish.

    Fishing is steady away with plenty of codlings and a few whiting about.

    Thursday the weather was cold but settled we only had 4 anglers aboard as 1 had cancelled and the other 3 did not turn up.
    but the lads had a good a amount of plump Codlings with over 30 in a 6 hour trip heaviest fish was around 5 lb.

    Friday we had another 6 hour trip fishing again was pretty much the same but with a few more larger fish around the 3 to 4lb area the weather started out brilliant like a summers day but around lunchtime the winds became stronger and the sea conditions deteriorated the anglers carried on fishing for a few hours in the conditions but decided to call the trip short by an hour as the fishing became difficult.

    Saturday we had a 8 hour trip and we travelled further afield which seamed to produce a better stamp of fish but not as many as the previous days so we travelled to the same ground we fished Thursday and Friday and again they were really productive yet again.
    Heaviest Fish today was 7lb.

    The Anglers have used a good mix of baits over the 3 days but overall Squid and Crab Cart seamed to be the best all round bait tipped with other baits like razor and lugworm.
