Report on-board Crimson Tide
The day started with 6 of the most unlikely candidates led by David Fagan. The weather for the day was not favourable with a strong NNW wind and a big spring tide,so we talked tactics whilst they tucked into there bacon rolls and fresh piping hot coffee. We came up with the idea of fishing dancing ledge for early bream or the odd undulate ray ,Well that plan didn’t work all we had was two dogfish so I decided to go 7 miles south to catch the slackening tide and try to fish a wreck. On arriving the wind was howling from the north and bloody cold, after a quick drift to estimate the tide it showed it had eased down to 1.5 knots good enough to chuck the hook in.
Within 10 minutes we had and lost our first conger then shorty who was 6ft7in tall caught an eel of 46lb which gave us a good bench mark to carry on for the next hour and a half in the tide window. In all we landed 5 eels between 31lb and 46lb and dropped 4 so worth the effort but of all things I forgot to bring the camera so no pictures. We then returned back to dancing ledge to try the ebb but to no avail just the odd dogfish, so while dodging the rain storms we returned to port and agreed that we had had a good day in tough conditions.

Report on-board Crimson Tide
With a fine day weather wise in prospect we pushed off out to the Rip's to fish the small neap tide which would give us the chance to anchor the wrecks and banks which would normally be unfishable. James Smith's first eel of the day pushed the scales round to 72lb which was the new boat record, it was a lively beast which he could not hold up for the photo, shame does not do the eel justice.In total we had 15 eels and 3 rays up to 26lb 6oz plus the usual bits and pieces to keep them ocupied while Craig ate all the pie's.
All fish were released with the exception of a 20lb conger which was kept for the table, strange i would sooner have had a sea food platter made up out of the bait we had left at the end of the day but thats angling. View Boats Page
