    Report on-board Optimist

    Over the past week the whiting have been almost an epidemic, snaffling even the biggest baits intended for cod. Many of them are a good size, and have been taken for the pot.

    Still some good sized thornbacks being boated, and a few codling although I suspect the cod are still chasing the abundant sprats in the upper channel. The sport will get better soon as the sprats thin out.

    Whole squid seems to have the edge bait-wise, but by the time you read these words things may have changed, but that's fishing!
