2 short trips today...yesterdays easterly wind stirred up the water and made the mackerel non-existant inside 3 miles....we did however manage a 3lb haddock, a 2lb whiting, a 1lb dab plus pout and gurnard this morning and then this afternoon (2 hr trip)we managed at least 60 whiting coming up 2 and 3 at a time inside 1 mile...............as always we try for less travelling and more fishing!

November exploratory trip for Porbeagle shark. With poor weather hampering our intended plans, we resorted to sheltering in relatively shallow water at anchor. Much chumming, with mature and fresh bait - produced eight spurdog all between 5 and 6 lb's. Mackeral were numerous, with some very big. We also hit a great spot with some extremely good pollock... no Porbeagles this time, but we'll keep trying.
