Report on-board Brigand
An early start for us today in order to get the best of the weather before what looked like a stiff Southwesterly kicked in - turned out to be the right call!

A glorious, if somewhat moody, sunrise greeted us as we headed across the shipping lanes and into deep water in search of Pollock. This time of year can be fickle with the bigger fish generally appearing later in Winter/early spring but we had a fantastic crew aboard, conditions were great and once clarity improved it was looking good.
Fish to the boat from the off and a steady stream of very high quality fish throughout the day. The weather began to deteriorate around midday by which time we were way out to the SW so a very comfy ride in.
Didn't quite manage to get into double figure fish, 9 1/2lb was the best of the day, very respectable for this time of year and my thanks to a wonderful crew, an absolute pleasure fishing with today guys
We will be running more wrecking trips throughout Winter but ONLY when conditions are very good and at very short notice so keep an eye on here for those. This weekend Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd looking fantastic weather & tide so we are out both days split into part drifting for Pollock and part anchored for Pollock/Bream/Bass and perhaps even an early Cod. Bait can be supplied upon request
Best wishes

We will soon be targeting the Big Bream and Nick had a little scout today with his Offshore Bream rig - Happy to confirm that they are where we suspected they would be at this time of year and they are certainly Big! We have a few spaces available on these specialist Big Bream trips, checkout the calendar on our website for dates.

Report on-board Deep Blue

COD! COD! COD! (CODLING)
Wow, well that wasn’t expected in all honesty. After yesterdays tricky trip (which was fish filled, just not the most desirable type) I had everything crossed for an improved trip today.
The flood tide has made for some tough fishing recently, so I was pretty glad to get the chance to fish the ebbing tide for a couple of hours this morning.
Mackerel was first on the list as usual, and we found them straight away.
Black Bream were next up, getting to the anchor spot in time before the tide started to drop being crucial, and bream were found in some good numbers.
COD! Being not a million miles away from my cod mark when the tide finally switched off was also stage 3 on the list…… And we most definitely found them. All but one angler landed cod, with most of them landing more than one, and most of them losing BIGGER fish too.
Today was definitely the most prolific day on the cod we’ve had. The tide widow for them is small, so being in the right place at the right time is key.
Species today - Cod, Mackerel, Smooth-hound, Ballan & Cuckoo Wrasse, Pollack.
Great day out on the sea.
I even had a little dip cutting some braid off my port engine, it was quite refreshing
