    Report on-board Lady Margaret

    The fishing during July has been a bit variable. There have been some good days with lots of fish coming aboard and some good individual fish landed. There have also been a few days when the fishing has been a bit slow. Generally the weather during the month has been favourable.

    The plaice fishing remains reliable with plenty of fish around. We found the average size dropped off during the middle of the month and keepers were more difficult to come by but the fishing of the last few days has produced plenty of fish of a good average size with lots of keepers. The best plaice we landed in July was a fine fish of 4lb 4oz which is our biggest of the year so far.

    There are also lots of black bream around. We landed fish to over 3lb at the start of the month but haven't been catching any big ones lately. No giltheads or couch's for us yet but the water is warm now so we may see some soon.

    The bass fishing continues to be erratic. Both the ledges and the banks have produced reasonable fishing at times and also some slow fishing. We haven't landed any big fish during the last month.

    The anchored fishing has produced a nice mixture of fish. There are lots of rod bending tope and congers around and quite a few rays along with the ubiquitous dogfish.
