So far 2011 is off to a good start with the first of the codling’s being caught on the 7th of April which is nearly three weeks earlier than normal.
The first of the codling’s were clean fresh fish, most of the fish being returned due to the fish being thin and out of condition but there were 20 codlings kept between 4 anglers best was around the 4lbto 5lb mark.

Thursday April 21st
A party of 10 anglers made up of individuals caught a total of 104 codlings, as usual nothing was kept under 16inches or 2.5 lb. and the best of the fish were around the 6lb mark.
Without doubt the best bait has been cooked prawns and squid strips fished on Daylites and Hokki’s ,

To sum up April the fishing started early this year with fish being caught in late March/early April this being
Due to the very mild April and the spring starting early but we did have to cancel trips in late April Due to strong East to South East winds.
All in all the fishing has been very good and has fished more like June than April with the average catch per angler around 10 codling to keep mostly caught on Squid Strip And Prawns fished on traces.

today was another nice spring like day.the first wreck was about 7 miles out. and produced only a couple of cod 3-4lbs.
so we pushed futher on the next wrecks again fished steady with 1 or 2 fish per drift. mainly cod upto 8lbs. with ling on the mackrel and squid baits.one lad having crab was having more sucess with a fish every drift till he ran out of crab.
again the futher we got out the cleaner the water was and the shads kicked in.
all in all a steady day with most anglers averaging 6 to 8 fish each.

well although its still early season fishing when the weather has allowed has been good. 5 lads over from preston had around 35 fish.about 25 cod and 10 ling. with the cod upto 8lbs and the ling just under 10lbs.with squid and mackrel baits working well for both cod and ling more so the ling.
as we ventured futher offshore the shads became more and more effective, and it was 50/50 between bait and shads.
all in all an enjoyable day. and as weather and conditions are improving the fishing will only get better and better. View Boats Page

August Report
August has started well with some excellent fish being taken from both the ground and wrecks.
Phill Dollan had three nice fish, a codling of 8.5lb and two Pollock around the 6lb and 7lb mark on daylights baited with mackerel strip off of the ground.
Dan Corford had a codling of 8.5lb and a ling of 12lb,not massive fish but still a good size fish for hard ground fishing.
The Dalston SAC from Carlisle area chartered the boat, the weather was perfect for fishing the wrecks, tried the inshore wrecks which produced the normal small ling and just a few codlings so it was decided to try the wrecks a bit further off.
The extra distance paid dividends as it was not long before the first double figure ling of just under16lb came
Over the side.
Mally Walker was delighted as the biggest ling of the day was around the 6lb to 8lb mark so he thought the sweep for the day was in the bag and his 16lb ling was unbeatable.
With the conditions being perfect it wasn’t long before John Rea was into a big fish which turned out to be a 21lb ling which took two pouting fillets fished on a flowing trace.
So August is off to a good start with some good quality fish being caught off of the ground and wrecks in the first week. View Boats Page
