Massive thanks to James, Jamie and the lads for a cracking run out today.

The wind was gusting hard offshore in the morning so we stuck close to the coastline and picked up strings of mackerel inside for bait.

When it started to calm down, we headed out to a few wrecks, but the gusts were still fairly prohibitive. When it properly dropped off, and the sun came out, we utilised the back end of the flood to full effect and hit some productive wrecks.

Even at slack water and on the ebb the fishing remained steady until the back end of the day when the wind picked up again, pretty much stopping play, so we agreed to call time and headed back home.

A good number and solid stamp of fish today, including cod, ling, coalies, whiting, scotchies, haddock and mackerel.

We welcomed aboard Kingie and the lads for his birthday celebrations yesterday; and once again headed off to clear skies, sunshine and flat seas!

We started well and picked up strings of coalies, and mackerel for bait at the first stop.

It was a fair steam to the first wreck which produced a solid 5.1 lb cod for Tucker on the first drop of the day.

We made the most of the flood tide, and steadily picked away on a series of wrecks which produced a solid stamp of ling, and cod up to 8.5 lb for Kingie to win the sweep.

Quality craic all day with the lads, incredible weather, flat seas, and some lovely fish for the pan…a few more days like that please!
