Report on-board Upholder
June Catch Report,
June got off to a windy start with winds of 20mph from the West and swinging round to the North and
Northeast for the weekend.
Thursday the 2nd was the best day so far this year and gave us a chance to try the wrecks,
Fishing was steady with the best of the Codlings being around the 9lb mark, 89 in total between 9 anglers, the best fish of the day was caught by Peter Downs a 6lb Wolf fish or Catfish if you prefer which Peter returned alive.
The Mackerel are so prolific that anglers are having trouble getting past them to get on the wrecks, any small
traces such as daylights and hokkis are ineffective unless they are heavily baited with Mackerel or squid strips to get past the Mackerel. Shads fished on a flowing trace, have also fished well.
Tuesday 7th
With the wind to increase from the southeast in the afternoon we tried the wrecks first thing.
Best fish was caught by was caught by Paul Nichol he had a Cod well over 10lb and a Ling over 12lb and to finish off the day he caught a 13lb Cod off the hard ground (see photos)
Weekend 11th and 12th
With winter like conditions 8 mph Northerly and 8 degrees temp the Apton SAC braved the conditions and managed to catch 10 Codlings apiece between 3lb to 5lb being the best.
On the Sunday the weather moderated for the Currock SAC from Carlisle who fished the wrecks, the quantity of fish was not as good as the ground fishing but they were a better stamp of fish, the best fish was a Ling 8.3/4 lb caught by Doug Hutchinson followed by Mal Walker with an 8 lb Ling best Codling was caught by Graham Proud and weighed 71/2 lb (see photo).
Weekend 18th and 19th
The Dalston SAC fished the hard ground and a few wrecks the best fish was a Pollack of 7 ½ lb caught by
Les McVity and his brother had three codlings on the same trace for a total of 13lb (see photos).
Weekend 25th And 26th
The Maggie Mays SAC from Carlisle had a good days fishing on the ground South of Coquet Island
With all the anglers having !0 codlings apiece to take home all caught on mostly cooked prawns.
On the 26th Angling correspondent Phill Williams from Boat Angler joined Steven Muir and his party.
Phill was compiling an article for the magazine about Amble and after a slow start the fish started to feed on the wrecks on the turn of the tide, there were some decent cod around the 5lb to 7lb and a few ling to around 7lb.There were quite a few small ling returned to get the fish down the bladders are popped as to whether they survive is unknown. Total catch was around 70 cod and ling for the boat.
The Alcan Lads and friends wanted to fish the wrecks after their last productive trip on the hard ground.
The best Codling was 9lb caught by Chris Charlton and the best ling was 8 ½ lb caught by Allan Dodds,
Darren Balls had a couple of nice Ling around the 7 ½ total catch for the day was 64 cod and Ling.
(see photos).
To sum up June 2011, the hard ground has out fished the wrecks with the best Cod of 13lb being caught by
Paul Nichol.
There have been quite a few 10lb cod off the hard ground but the usual stamp o
The wrecks have produced the average bigger size fish between 5lb to 7lb with the average of 5 to 7 fish to keep per person. The wreck fish have been nowhere near as clean and fresh as the ground fish and some of the wreck fish have been covered in red sores. View Boats Page
