Popular Post Scotch_Egg2012 Posted April 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) Headed out to Boulder Bank today to see if the Bream had turned up, after a couple Undulate rays at the beginning of our day it went very quiet once the tide started proper. We were the only boat there to start but in the end 3 charter boats anchored not far from us, from what we saw between the 3 boats 3 Bream were landed. We fished the best part of the tide for little result so decided to head out to a deeper mark 15 miles out. A bit different here, as soon as we dropped the scratching rods down we where into Pout / small Whiting and the masses of obligatory dogfisha few of the whiting went on as a live bait. They didn't rouse much interest except for a solitary Thornback which took a fancy to a little Whiting. A couple of small Smoothounds finished our day and we decided to head back in. Quite a bit of swell out deeper which made standing a bit difficult at times but a lovely day other than that Edited April 17, 2021 by Scotch_Egg2012 Saintly Fish, Andy135, jonnyswamp and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Good write up Scott. Sounds like it was a hard day but at least there were a few fish to reward your efforts 👍 I heard of one decent bream taken on a charter today, but that's all. Reckon they're not quite here yet - maybe another few weeks before they arrive in earnest. Scotch_Egg2012 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything hopefully starting to get going, the Smoothounds were 9 & 7lb so they are on the way. Tope are the target for me though, I'll not be bothering with Hounds this year. Tope then onto the Blonde rays Andy135 and suzook12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Just heard from the same charter skipper that boulder and teardrop have bream to 2lb at present. Good luck with the tope. Utopia then the Overfalls I'm guessing for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not heard of Teardrop any idea where that is? Edited April 18, 2021 by Scotch_Egg2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
