Bob F Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 I've heard from the lads that they managed to get over to Alderney as planned today. Apparently it was a bit bumpy out of Weymouth, but once past the Shambles it was smooth enough for them to hit the mid channel wrecks, where they caught plenty of Pollack to 15lb and quite a few cod of similar size. They then motored on to Alderney and anchored on a mark called the Swinge. This is a strong 8 knot tital current, but you anchor in the eddy of a large rock in 40ft of water. They then used light tackle (spinning rods) with flowing traces and artifical sandeels for pollack that hide amungst the Kelp beds. Tons of pollack were caught with the biggest going 10lb. Must be great fun on the light tackle. I heard of many screaming reels and lightning takes. Forecast for the next two says is force 4, so they will be hitting the banks. Good luck to all.
