Popular Post mike farrants Posted April 2 Popular Post Share Posted April 2 after Storm Nelson on Thursday/Friday there was a very slight break in the weather forecast for Saturday which had us up at the crack of sparrows - for a 6.45am meet at the boat. I had the inlaws staying for Easter and my Birthday so Phil joined me and Tim on Tim's boat. we tried for mackerel first but failed miserably - so soon headed out to the 'Hot spot' as i'm now calling it - 5miles off, 80ft water, mixed ground - throws up all sorts. We fished small baits for bream and were not disappointed - 28 to the boat before we lost count - big ones, small ones, must be feeding up for spawning as they were fat with roe. we also had pout, whiting, and scad in the mix. as the tide slackened off we went with big baits for the scavengers - Phil had his 1st ever Bull huss - Tim had some too - going to 12Lb - also found one pregnant mum - so put her back swiftly. Tim also had a Smoothie, and i had congers and thorny instead of a huss. we of course had dogs - but not too many to spoil the day. there was a lot of left over swell making it rather lumpy and making me queasy for most of the day - as the afternoon got on the wind veered to the SE to ruin it for everyone - so we were back in the marina before 4pm. pub for 5pm. Not sure when we will get out next! Dicky, Geoff, Malc and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Top dangling! Some lovely fish there. Shame you didn't get more doggies though, but I suppose you can't have it all eh? 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
