Report on-board Lucky Dip II
Took me n the misses off for a check of some marks to see how they were fishing and introduce June to some new species for her. Went off in search of fresh bait and put 30 mackerel into the tub so headed of to anchor up. another deep mark I have been keeping an eye on produced three thornbacks, and grey Gurnard. the tide really picked up so decided to try in the 300ft banks but the wind was holding us against the tide now so went scratching for species. Introduced June to scratching with light weight gear and some 50 codling, 30 haddock and a nice Tub Gurnard. We kept 6 of the largest fish for the table putting the rest back to fight another day before heading in to clean down the boat.
GREAT FISHING STILL!!!!

Well the day started slow with only codling haddock and a few mackerel showing up on the first few drops. We decided a move was needed to target some Pollack on lightweight gear with ragworm baited leadheads, this seemed to pick out a few nice specimens but still relatively small so we worked a few marks picking up some hard fighting Pollack, a couple of Cuckoo wrasse and some nice Ballans too. With the tide still running the wrong way we anchored up to try for hounds and rays and wow. we picked up 15 ray with thornback in the majority but some nice spotted and blondes too. Also coming to the boat was a first for Robert and a nice Starry smouth hound going 8lb 10 on the scales. We also lost one nice fish after it made a few heavy runs and then wrapped the anchor warp!!!. Another move saw us back on the Pollack with mixed results but some cracking fighting fish upto 6lb. All these fish were released to fight another day baring a few Codling and Haddock. Check out the club "Silver Lures" for joining details.
