Popular Post Maverick Posted May 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2021 Dean and I were off through the 8:30 bridge lift and out to ballard for our first stop. Very slow there with just a couple of Bream and nothing else so a move was called for. Off over the Dancing ledge where we had 7 or 8 smooth hounds up to 10lb ish, a spotted ray at 3lb 12oz, dogfish and around 6 Bream. Was windier than expected so after a while we decided to return to Ballard on the way back. The mark we would have fished was already taken and glad it was as we went slightly off piste where we had 25-30 Bream. Largest went to Dean at around 2lb, largest I could muster weighed 1lb 12oz at home. All in all a good day with a splattering of fish which kept us busy for a change. jonnyswamp, suzook12, GPSguru and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Wow, sounds like a busy day! Well done the pair of you 👍 What baits were the hounds taking? Guessing you weren't fishing with crab if you were after bream? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done. We get very few Bream here. A few on selected wrecks in the autumn, but they take some finding and the pout become a pest. There is a reef near Dartmouth that yields a few, but I never seem to have time there when fishing the skerries, as plaice are far more important to the crew 🙄 Very close to us is an underwater feature known as ‘Bream Rock’, but you cant anchor as the pick always gets snagged, and it is off a headland so the tide run is fierce and any fish would need a motorbike to keep up with the bait on a drift.🤣 Edited May 31, 2021 by GPSguru Maverick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not they were not targeted and were caught on thin strips of squid on size 4 semi circular hooks intended for Bream. Only one fish broke me up which felt weighty but I left it to long and guess it wrapped itself up in the line as I lost the lot Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
