After the good trip i had yesterday, today was a wake up call! Easterly winds and lots of rain, Welcome back.... The party made the choise to go and have a look and as we went down the coast it wasn't that bad but it was raining heavy and in the end the rain made them give up, so we only had 3 THORNBACKS and some DOGFISH.

The weather on Saturday was cool to start but bright, I have been away for what should have been a weeks holiday in Florida but the nice people in Iceland made me stay for an extra 10 days, How bads is that! so it was back to the spring fishing on the East Coast, I had a party of five and almost from the first cast we were in to THORNBACKS, we fished the last of the ebb and all the flood and had 47 THORNBACKS to 10 1/2 lb. Not bad for my first trip back.

Every Skipper has a bed weekend this one was mine, We did get around 6 to 8 THORNBACKS, with some CODLING and WHITING each trip but after the fishing i have enjoyed over the last ten day's it was a bit frustrating, so i am just off to sulk!!!!!

The weather was all over the place , Strong winds heavy rain to start, bright sunshine calm seas then gail force winds and rain to finish, all we needed was snow thunder and lightening and we had the full works!!!! But on top of all that we we had a great day's fishing, Three anglers had 36 THORNBACKS to 13lb and 1 cod to 6lb, Kieth Hadrell landed the biggest THORNBACK.

The fishing has picked up with some good THORNBACKS landed.5 anglers had 22 THORNBACKS the biggest was 18lb but only one COD, It's good to see that most of the fish (all the females) are returned and only males are taken.

What can you do on small tides? Around this part of the coast for uptideing we need the tide to run so neep tides can be hard to fish with not so much movement in the water the fish don't move about so much and that means the skipper can his work cut out!!!!
Yep, that's right, today was one of the smallest in this set of tides, after some thought ( yes i know skippers are not very good at that!) i went to a deep water mark to see if the THORNBACKS had arrived yet? Thankfuly they had , and in some numbers, The total was 31 THORNBACK'S to 12lb 8oz and a codling. View Boats Page

A late start today as this tripo is more of an outing for a family, After Sunday's trip i thought that we would go for some more THORNBACK'S, The tides were a bit smill for this mark but with the limited time that i had it would br our best shot.
Almost as soon as we anchored we were in to a fish, a THORNBACK about 6lb, not big but a start, as the tide began to run harder the fish movement increased. We landed about 10 to 11lb at this mark then we moved to see if we could get some CODLING,At the second mark we landed more 6 THORNBACK'S to 8lb and 8 CODLING to about 4lb. Not bad for a short trip.
