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!
