    Report on-board Optimist

    August has proved to be a great month for fishing on the wrecks and on the banks. We have had to travel some distance to some wreck marks known to us and have been rewarded with some good Pollack, codling and Bass including the one in the photo caught by Gus from Worcestershire on a 4in sidewinder eel, there are of course the inevitable Pouting (AKA Brixham Cod).

    The Skerries is still producing some nice fish with a total of nine species in one day including Plaice, Blonde Ray, Red and Grey Gurnard, Dogfish, Mackerel, Scad, Pollack and Whiting. Testament to the Blondes is Caroline from Norfolk with a 10lb 11oz Blonde Ray, long drifts do produce the fish most taken on a cocktail of Rag worm, Squid and Mackerel.

    The reefs are still providing some sport with Bull Huss and Small Conger with a few Pollack into the mix.
