    Report on-board Seadog charters

    Another fantastic few trips:

    Over 3 days we had 52 skate to 199lbs ������ also had spurdogs, black mouth dogfish and a back mouth dogfish egg on the deck! All safely retuned. 2 skate managed to avoid being measured but out of the 50 measured fish we recorded a total weight of skate caught at a whopping 5016lbs!!

    Day 1:

    After abit of a false start at a Mark where the tide was running too hard I agreed to make back the hour with the guys and we headed to another close by mark with less tide. Wasn’t long to we were into a great stamp of fish, with fish of 115, 150, 144, 190, 116, 171, 90, 177, 163, 196, 96, 187 and 199lbs. The guys worked well to battle the big flood tide towards the end of the day and really Kept the fish coming. 13 landed in total.

    Day 2:

    On Saturday with the perfect conditions, we decided that a move way south would be needed to see bigger numbers, and it didn’t Disappoint. With the skate fishing moving slowly we fished for some sour dogs and black mouth. The skate came on slowly and quickly non stop. At one part of the day we had all 5 rods hooked into fish, 2 rods landed and baited and sent to the bottom and within minutes it’s back to 5 fish hooked up! For a laugh we had some old steak in the boat so thought why not give it a go as bait�� sure enough it took 5 mins for it to be proven a good bait!! We ended the day with 19 fish landed, at 54, 79, 59, 43, 68, 45, 30, 41, 40, 182, 149, 73, 96, 89, 90, 193, 71, 63 and 54lbs!

    Day 3:

    Again perfect conditions, with minky whale all around the boat fishing was slow. With a move at half time proving to be a great choice with the fishing picking up instantly. Straight into a treble hook up and non stop action there after.
    20 skate were landed with 2 fish evading measurement. Sizes were 126, 76, 152, 51, 144, 160, 74, 53, 103, 55, 41, 102, 84, 63, 54, 79, 28 and 85lbs.
