  Report on-board Galloper

  Despite the seemingly relentless gales February has been fairly kind to us on the blackwater. The blackwater estuary has continued to provide great sport in all but the worst conditions. Luckily where most of the fish have been showing is very well sheltered from the south and west so we can fish in a gale of wind and its no rougher than on the mooring most of the time. The sprats have gone now although plenty of herring remain, but this doesn’t seem to be having an adverse effect on the fishing. Last week Carl and young Billy-roy hired the boat for just the two of them and they had a great days fishing. It was their second trip with me and Billy-roy had remembered so much from his first trip. He was casting on his own and did a great job of reeling in some decent thorn-backs all on his own. The lads had steady fishing all day and managed 31 rays between them as well as a few whiting and a dogfish for good measure. They are already planning their next trip for later in the year. We have had days with more rays on board but this was undoubtably a good day between two people, in February on a windy day.
  We have only been able to get further offshore on the occasional day to be honest but this should improve in the coming weeks and we should see a bit more variety in the fish we catch. The rays seem pretty wide spread now so we should be cooking on gas for a while inshore.
  I have plenty of spaces coming up including this weekend coming.
