    It's not all about the bass! There are still a few thornback ray showing along with the bass, smooth hounds, dogfish, whiting and dabs ect. They might not be as numerous as a few years ago but the other day we had 8 rays as well as 25-30 hounds and over 50 bass. There were several other species caught including the first tope of the year for us.

    The bass have been showing in good numbers lately. Often 30-40 or more per trip with several kept for the table and the majority returned. With numbers of hounds, Dogfish, rays, whiting, dabs and pouting to name most of the species making up our general trips. We have had the first bass of the year on lures too as the algae clears, water clarity improves and the bass start to feed on the bait fish when conditions suit.

    The bass fishing has improved over the last week or so. These are the best two from the other day with 30-40 caught and 16 kept. There were plenty of hounds, Dogfish, whiting and dabs in between too. Things were pretty busy at times with 3 bass to the top rod on the first few casts before the kettle had boiled! Worm was very important and the lads who didn't use it didn't have as many bass.

    Report on-board Galloper

    There were some great hounds and bass showing over the last few trips. The other day the lads had good numbers of each with several decent bass for the table and some nice hounds too. The biggest hound fell to Steve on the last cast of the day and went 18.5lbs which is a great early season fish and there's plenty of time to beat it this summer. It could have been the one that got away for his son Sam earlier in the day but Sam made up for it with the bass he really wanted.

    The general trips are still producing a good mix of fish at the moment. There have been some nice hounds around with some pregnant girls pushing double figures. The bass have improved in numbers in places with several keepers per day in places and some decent rays mixed in too. Of course those dogfish are still there in case you are worried about missing them. With temperatures set to rise and good weather forecast for the next few days things are looking good.
