    Report on-board Galloper

    After a belting start to January things proceeded to slow a little as we got into the month. The cause of this a mixture of the cold weather and sprats distracting the cod from out baits. We were hampered by weather occasionally but on the whole it was a good January. When we have got out there has still been some good fishing to be had. even though bites may be a little slower and finicky as the fish are already stuffed with sprat we have seen some reasonable numbers. Several days have seen 20-35 codling coming out along with a few roker too. the last few years January and February have produced some decent roker and whiting. This year has proved to be much the same with some decent fish coming out. Our biggest whiting was just shy of 2lbs for luke on his first trip. One of our regulars Barry Woods had a stonking roker of 18.12lbs which is a new PB for him and the ‘Galloper’. The big fish was a female so as with all females was returned after a few pictures. Barry had a good day with another roker and quite a few codling too. the sprats should move on anytime now which should help our catches of cod. The good thing is the fish pile on the weight while theyre eating them so when they go the stamp should be lovely. If and when things start to warm up we should see a few more roker getting about and it would be nice to see a few more fish like Barry’s grace the deck.
