    Report on-board Amino

    After the very windy winter where it was almost impossible to get out at all for the last 4 months, the last few weeks of more settled weather have allowed us to finally get out.

    Fishing this winter was very poor (when we got out!) with an abundance of sprats and herrings keeping the Cod feeding mid-water and not at all interested in anglers baits. Those we did catch were small but the positive part is that this is a good sign for the future.

    The last few trips have seen us after the large numbers of Thornbacks that are appearing along the coast as they look for a mate to have some fun with ;-). as well as any early Bass and remaining Codling. Once we get through the damn Dogfish, the Thornbacks are feeding well and recent trips have seen us land upto a dozen up to 11lb, some Whiting, the odd Cod to 5lb and tonnes of Dogs!

    With water temperatures very high for the time of year, who knows if we will get a spring run of Cod, lets hope so, but if not there will be plenty to go at with some Smoothounds arriving already to give us some fun on sporting gear.
