Report on-board PLAN B
What a difference a week makes - flat calm sea with fish everywhere.
Hounds galore but all in the 3 -5 lb range. Loads of whiting, dogs and pouting. 2 nice skate with the best one at 10lb. The bass were hard to come by our persistence paid off in the end.. It was nice to see the youngsters all catch good fish.. they all caught pretty much non stop.. they are hooked.
A great weekend - lets hope the weather holds like this. View Boats Page

Report on-board PLAN B
Saturday was very windy and we struggled to get to the best fishing spots, but we managed some skate and hounds against the odds.
Sunday was windy to begin with, but for once the forcast was right and the wind dropped as the day went by, fishing was slow at first with just small hounds, we moved to a bank that has been quite productive recently and we caught plenty of hounds and a couple of small bass.. One of the anglers hit into an absolute cracker, which ran against the tide and clutch and sadly snapped the line.. probably a really big hound, but who knows. We finished up with about 25 hounds so not a bad end to the weekend. View Boats Page
