    Report on-board Spot On!

    April and May have turned out to be a great months weather wise and has enabled 'Spot On' to get in some great fishing on the mid channel wrecks which have produced some great catches in the shape of Pollock, Ling, cod, coalfish, whiting, pouting, bass, conger eels and tub gurnards.

    The skerries bank has been very slow in producing plaice but when anchored in the correct spots it has produced some great ray fishing with Blonde Ray's being the most productive, other Ray's have included spotted and small eyed Ray's.

    The first trip to Guernsey in the middle of May saw a 4 day trip consisting of plenty of cod and pollock on the crossing along with some good action on the banks, topped off with some large black bream fishing.
    Species landed on this trip was: cod, pollock, Ling, coalfish, pouting, ballan wrasse, turbot, brill, blonde ray, dogfish, tub gurnard, red gurnard, mackerel, Sandeel, black bream.

    Top lures have been sidewinder black and pink taking plenty of fish. 1 cod came to an old sidewinder that a guy has had in his box for years! Just goes to show these lures last the test of time!
    Top rigs bream and conger/Ling traces have worked very well and have been used in great success.

    Thanks again for my sponsors.
