Report on-board Hurricane
spring and summer have arrived along with some nice catches of smoothounds and skate .
View Boats Page
we had a bonanza on the skate in early May when huge numbers arrived inshore we recorded catches of up to 100 in a day but they have now spread out a bit and made way for the hounds which is what summer is all about in the estuary.
plenty off bass around and large shoals showing on the fishfinder and birds diving are a good indicator .
feathering produces lots of small bass which is fun but all go back to swim away.
mackerel expected soon and from the 1st July we can retain 1 per angler
some huge hounds about and the females are heavy with pup so a chance of a record breaker is out there somewhere.
the recent charity competition for Demelza was a great day with the largest skate being recorded from my boat
and 21 boats and 96 anglers taking part in what will now become an annual event.
