    Report on-board Size Matters

    [This report was written when Size Matters was operating from Plymouth]

    I find it sad there are very few mackerel about for this time of year on the south coast, I think the factory ship's are depleting the stock's much faster than they can reproduce. Over the weekend we spent hour's trying to catch enough mackerel to go conger fishing, I even bought three stone of fresh mackerel but it was know where near as good as fresh mackerel caught that day.
    When we did get the anchor down we managed 30 conger up to 45lb and pulled the hook's on about 25 with the lad's being to eager, but as soon as the fresh mackerel was used up the conger went off the feed. We had the mackerel I had bought, pouting and whiting for bait but the fresh mackerel caught on the day was by far the best. This just goes to show how important mackerel are to the fishing industry. On a brighter note the cod fishing is starting to take off, some day's the cod are out numbering the pollack and there are some nice ling about.
    We have caught ling to 21lb, cod to 13lb, pollack to 10lb and whiting to 3lb.
    If you would like to join us for a fishing trip just give me a call for availability.

    Cheers
