Report on-board Galloper
The last couple of months have been hard work at times inshore. A large influx of sprats moved in around mid-January and along with unsettled temperatures this stopped a lot of the fish feeding. However, we have plucked away and found a few thorn-back rays, whiting, dogfish and flatties to keep us occupied. We had a nice surprise the other week when Barry snuck out a coalfish in under 10ft of water. This certainly wasn’t what we expected and livened up the day for us. I hate the thought of missing out on good fishing so I like to get out once or twice a week to see how the fishing is doing. unfortunately we lost the best part of two weeks to the series of storms that ran through causing havoc. Thankfully by the time the weather had broken we got back afloat to find the fish to be feeding again. The last few trips have been producing good numbers of rays, dogfish and whiting for us. there are plenty of males ideal for the pot and some cracking big females ready to lay their eggs (obviously returned).

Pictured are Billy-Roy and his Dad Carl who found plenty of rays feeding the other day, as ever Billy-Roy had the most fish with several double shots of whiting and some dogfish too.
At this time of year as the sun get higher in the sky and temperatures rise, the fish are feeding and us skippers have most of our job done for us. I would expect thorn-back rays to be our main target inshore for the next few weeks or more. We have already seen a few hounds showing in places so it will only be a matter of time before these, along with the bass move in too. I have a few spaces this weekend and later in the month so get in touch if you fancy a trip out aboard the Galloper.
