Popular Post GPSguru Posted July 29 Popular Post Posted July 29 (edited) Solo trip and early start due to a major rowing race taking place and all the gigs use the slipway 🙄 Absolutely flat sea and arrived on the skerries at 08:00. Straight down with my Plaice bait, and I also put down tinsels for snake / mack, and a large fish bait for Turbot. The first away was the mack tinsels, with a steady stream of single fish, but a good size. The next bit is for @jonnyswamp who was told the fish were small. I fished from 08:00 to 13:30 and had 9 plaice, with 3 keepers. The MLS is 27cm, but I don't keep under 35cm. I measured all the fish (just out of interest) and the keepers were just over 35, the rest were 27 - 30. I don't use worm, only fish baits, usually whole king prawn tipped with squid, or mack strip tipped with squid. I was getting a lot of bites that didn't connect, and that could have been postage stamp fish as I tend to use a 1/0 instead of the size 2 that a lot of folk use. Also in the mix was loads of finger sized pout on the tinsels, and 4 good sized grey gurnard on the plaice rod. My Turbot baits went untouched all day, not even a dog. Got back onto the slip at 1:45 pm, a loverly day, not a cloud in the sky and quite warm., but the sea was great so an easy 50 miles. We had the plaice for evening meal, and it was excellent. Just one pic, coz we have all seen plaice before 🙄 Edited July 29 by GPSguru daio web, Dicky, Josh and 4 others 7 Quote

Andy135 Posted July 30 Posted July 30 Lovely session! Well done. Was rather envious when I saw that pic. Top dangling 👍 daio web 1 Quote
jonnyswamp Posted July 30 Posted July 30 Sounds like a great trip 👍 A good stamp of fish too, certainly not small Do you find certain areas hold better fish, with others just mainly smaller/juvenile fish ? Quote
