Sunday 21st Febuary – Fishing News

Hi guys. Well, no change out there today apart from the weather.

We tried a few different spots which were a bit closer to home and did manage to catch two very small dabs. At our last spot, on the first of the flood, Steve had a typical cod bite. It pulled his anchor weight out and started nodding. We got the fish onboard and it was a codling of 4lb.

We thought things were looking up after that bite – but nothing.

Then, I don’t now how it happened, Steve threw his uptiding rod and reel straight over the side. Would you have credited it – two rods and reels in two days. It was gutting for the anglers.

We’re not out fishing next weekend. Hopefully things will improve for the start of March.

I will still be fishing on Thursday evenings.

All the best,

Skipper Steve

Saturday 20th February – Fishing News

Hi guys. Well what a day. The weather was in our favour so too the tide.

As it was such a nice day I decided to leave at 6am.

It was a bit of a mixed crew of regulars so they knew what they were in for.

Knowing that it was very, very quiet out there I opted for a long steam out taking us about 1hr 45min to do 26miles. We got anchored up. A few hours passed and we did not even have a bite. Then adrian decided he would throw his nice uptiding rod and newish ‘Abu 7000′ over the side. He was not happy.

It got to one o’ clock and we had still not had a bite so we headed home.

Well, after sausage sandwichs, lots of tea and a lovely day; thanks guys for coming out and having a go.

Not sure what I’m going to do, however, I know the guys still want to go and try no matter what.

At least you won’t get any bull on this blog with made up stories of how great things are. If I were you guys, who want to book up, I would leave it till March/April because the water is still very cold. It needs to warm up a bit before the fish start to come on again.

All the best,

Skipper Steve
