    Report on-board Size Matters

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

    The fishing from Plymouth has been steady for this time of year. On the mid channel wrecks we have been catching Ling to 23lb, Pollack to 10lb, and a few small conger to 20lb all on the drift. Inshore on the reefs we have been catching Ling to 15lb, Pollack to 8lb, Whiting to 3lb and the odd Cod to 5lb. A very good sign is there is plenty of Lance, Herring and Mackerel around at the moment, last year it wasn't until June before we seen the first mackerel caught.
    On Monday we decided to have a go at the rays on the skerries for a change we caught blond, small eyed and spotted, 12 rays to 18lb in total all returned to fight another day.
