    Report on-board Size Matters

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

    Just returned from our first Guernsey trip of the year, the lads wanted to fish the banks for three days targeting Turbot and Brill. Sadly after two days fishing the banks we only caught a hand full of Turbot and Brill to 5lb for our efforts.
    I told the lads on the third day we need to go Wrecking because they all had a cool box each to fill with fillets before we got back to Plymouth. So the pressure was on, I had to pull all the stops out to save the three day trip from a total disaster. As we arrived at the first wreck I explained to the lads how to fish the wrecks using lures and try to avoid tangles. After the first few drifts the lads where into fish and they where performing like well oiled machines. Catching Ling to 21lb, Cod to 12lb, Pollack to 12lb and John Dory to 3lb. They managed to fill all there cool boxes with fillets!!!
    I am not sure why the banks did not produce like they should do at this time of year, maybe it was the 7 days of bad weather we had before the trip.
