    Report on-board Optimist

    May has now well and truly arrived and the fishing is excellent, still no sign of Mackerel in quantity but the there are a few around close to the shore, on the wrecks we have been catching some lovely Pollack and a few Pouting and some silver Whiting and surprisingly the inshore wrecks are fishing very well. On the banks we have had some great trips with some nice Plaice coming aboard, we have also boated Brill and Turbot both nice to see in our part of the world with Launce for bait being caught on the edge of the banks. Bait wise Lures are still working well on the wrecks whilst on the banks we have been experimenting as well as the usual Ragworm and Squid, Mackerel and Launce, Black Lug seems to working well as does Garlic Prawn, even Chilli Prawn has brought Plaice to the boat and as you would expect at this time of year Cuttle works well.
    So if you want a great days fishing at a reasonable cost with some like minded people give us a call and look forward to a good day aboard Optimist
