Report on-board Silver Spray II
Again I find myself sat in my lounge on a Saturday rather than taking you guys out after the bass or plaice, just seems to be our luck that the wind is always blowing just a little bit too much this year. The fish have definitely been keen to get involved when we have managed to get out. Starting inshore the plaice have been good fun on the spinning rods with fish over the 3lb mark coming every trip, not quite hit 4lb recently but can’t be too far away. This type of drift fishing has been hampered by the weather a lot as a light westerly is best but we seem to always have 15 knots or more to contend with, giving us an unnatural drift speed. Out on the bass grounds the fishing has been brilliant with most of the fish coming to lures. Plenty of small fish in there of about 2lb heading back for next year and a nice one for the table for everyone that wants one. On the smaller tides the tope have provided great sport mixed in with all types of rays, some congers, huss and even the always welcome bonus turbot. I always try to have a shark rod out on a float whilst tope fishing, all the large mackerel flappers going up and down through the tide sets up a pretty handy chum trail. Last Monday it was it was clearly well worth a go when the first conger up to the boat was bitten in half by something with big teeth. After a few hours knocking out the tope the clicker screamed off on the shark rod and the lads were rewarded with a nice porbeagle of about 6 feet in length, good signs for our upcoming shark trips if we can get the weather. Our last wreck trip of the year turned out to be one of the best for cod with one small wreck producing all the fish. Along with ling and congers at anchor I think good fun was had by all. We are looking forward to finally getting over to Alderney next week as we haven’t managed to get over there since May. 2020 bookings are up to date for Alderney and Guernsey trips so get booking now.
