Popular Post GPSguru Posted April 14 Popular Post Share Posted April 14 (edited) A decent weather window today, so I made the effort to go out, as due to the weather the boat hasn't moved for 3 months. A solo trip and launched at 07:00 into a very flat sea. First stop was a bunch of 3 wrecks off berry head which in the past were always netted, but in view of the pollock ban, I assumed correctly that the nets would be gone. Well, I was right, but there are a significant amount of crab pots on the wrecks. A couple of drifts on each produced nothing, so I headed inshore to the Orestone. several drifts on the Orestone produced a few Mackerel and one Herring. As I brought it up I couldn't decide between a large sardine or small herring, but with the dorsal fin well past the half way mark, it had the be a herring. Having had a good shakedown the boat is running well, and I came back in at lunchtime. So 27nm and rewarded with a few bait fish, so not too bad for mid April.

Malc Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 It does look a bit thin though, I'm hoping for a good late summer with plenty of calm weather and I can bag up 🤞 GPSguru 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
