Malc Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 From about now until May the fishing is pretty poor so thoughts are on what the rest of the year will be like. We are in a species hunt based from the marina so the easy stuff will be cod, pollock coalfish, ling, the usual flats, doggies and pout and SSSS along with the summer visitors of mackerel, herring and the sandeel. Getting rockling, LSSS and gobies should be doable but we will have to change tactics dramatically and might be able to get eelpout and further out we will have to really try hard for turbo, TBR, Gurnard and others that tend not to get caught up here often. In the river and the sand areas we might even get a bass or possibly sea trout. All in all things are looking up and hopefully the doldrums will pass quickly! What are you looking forward to?

suzook12 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Would be nice to have a bit of sport with some tope again. And now I've caught one, a large bass or two....... Malc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Looking forward to fishing…. Boat is in yard but weather too crap to finish it off hopefully back in water for Easter and then off to play on the reefs for some pollack etc… maybe a good before the summer madness starts… until then…. Too much DIY, work travel and boat teaching to do…. Malc and Geoff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
