Andy135 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Welcome to Offshore Outlaws! Good to have you with us. As Jon says we're growing fast. There's plenty of chat and banter here, and fishing & boating too when the weather allows. I used to have an Orkey 440. Orkney's are well made boats. Good choice 👍 gallagherdee and JonC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey that’s a long time. Why do you store for so long through winter? What about cod and plaice fishing? do you not have skate up where you are? Or do you go in charters through the winter!

gallagherdee Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 Have loads of rays. Seems to be done thing here. Weather is terrible during the winter which lasts a long time. Very little in lough until mackerel come in which is normally June. Then tope follow them in. Good cod and ling but that means going out into Atlantic and my boat is too small for that in winter seas. JonC and Andy135 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gallagherdee Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 Ling are really nice but a nightmare to fillet. Great fight from them too and easy to catch if they’re around. Plenty of pollock around here too. The ones I struggle with are plaice and turbot. I’m told there’s plenty of them but I rarely catch them. Maybe it’s because I rarely if ever have worms for bait. It’s also a good 26 mile round trip to where the cod and ling are and I have to wait for a good high pressure system. All that means I only get out that far a few times a year. On the other hand it’s only a ten minute run to tope grounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisdafish Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) I'd forget worms if you're after turbot. Try a long mackerel strip, sandeel or launce, even a small turbot will take a large bait. A turbot from my boat is a holy grail for me. I can catch small ones from the shore but never had one from my boat.
