Popular Post Josh Posted April 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2023 (edited) Another attempt to go North Cornwall turned into south as we headed down and was trying to talk ourselves into the location planned but the swells just were reading too big on the forecast… I think/know the boat would be okay out there it’s just getting past the bars and launching ect. So plan B back on the pollack. towed all the way home and back both times these last two sessions with maintenance to do on boat ect. Howling effort for such a short visit but hey.. anyway the fishing so ,,, still competing with an easterly on the south coast option . Which was annoying again becuase the east on the other side would have been okay..but the swells outweighed the option. headed out tryed for find some launce and sure enough with a little persistence we found them. mackerel too super excited about sending these down we headed off to the reefs and began . It wasn’t long before a rod went zooming over . then a steady stream of smaller ones . The tide went slack and it was slow. Then we kept on and on moved round a few times. And by that point the tide picked up and the fishing, Ash persisted with the live bait I had two on live bait but switched to a lure when things went slow then stuck with it and was seeming to keep getting the takes. so then Ash changed over to a lure too and bang both in . Better stamp coming through now and Ash couldn’t stop catching so we stopped no point clearing the reef out. Some nice doubles and high single figure fish. great trip very tired now.

Hi Malc on this occasion we returned any live ones but I have frozen some before but to be fair we have only caught the launce a few times. Love to go a drift for turbot with them Malc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
