West Bay Dorset 19/5

[Dicky]

First club away day of the year down at West Bay. 3 boats towed down but 1 had engine issues so never made it out. We spent the most part wrecking but it was hard work with a smalll tide and strong northerly wind pushing us across the tide rather than with it. I think this put the fish off as the lures weren’t working naturally ( that’s my excuse anyway). We managed 3 pollack on the wreck with the biggest going 9-11.

Back inshore for the last couple of hours but again the drift was all wrong and very slow fishing. We only found a wrasse and missed a couple of bites. Only mackerel we had was on the way out when we came across a huge flock of gulls on the water. They weren’t diving but picking up what looked like small sand eels off the surface. The mackerel under neath them were mainly small. 
Back on the slip and a guest on our boat took top spot wit( his pollack and second with his wrasse which we had kept alive and released after weighing. I took third with a pollack so not to bad after all
