    Report on-board Size Matters

    We have just returned from our first trip of the year to the Isle of Man, the four lads I had onboard wanted to target Tope.

    I told the lads I hadn’t fished over there for five years so things mite have changed, I said if we get it right you will have no shortage of Tope!

    In just the first five hours the lads caught 64 Tope to 30lb with most averaging 20lb to 25lb, it was mayhem trying to keep up to release them with the t-bar at the side of the boat.

    The next day the lads wanted to try some new areas to try and find some bigger Tope, the morning and afternoon was a disaster the dogfish where plaguing us in there millions, after three moves we finally found some bigger Tope catching 19 to 38lb and two Spurdog to 16lb in just a few hours.

    On the last day we only had a few hours to fish before heading home so the lads decided to fish for Bass using live baits and lures.

    The live baits where getting bitten off by Tope and every drop and on the lures the lads where catching lots of jumbo Mackerel, we also tried for a Turbot but as soon as the bait hit the bottom the Dogfish where onto it.

    The lads managed to land 3 Tope to 25lb plenty of jumbo Mackerel, Tub Gurnard, Whiting and Weavers.
