    Report on-board Duke IV

    Great sport with the Smoothounds now with Marcs group landing l5 last Saturday, Marcins group today had Hounds, Skate, Gurnard & chunky Whiting The Hounds have a particular taste for peeler crab bait, although we have been catching them on lug, herring and squid so the early birds are hungry and feeding on anything that's going!
    Plenty of Skate around now with a good chance of large catches, herring remains the bait of choice but a good chunk of squid often works well.
    A few Bass being landed so hopefully more on the way, lug a good bait with hokkies and feathers good when the water clears. We are gearing up for the wreck fishing now with space available on 24th April.
    This time of year can be seen as the pinnacle time for fishing with new fish arriving all the time whilst still plenty of quality Whiting and Codling still around!
