Yesterday - no plaice to be

[Stuie]

Out with Ken with a view to target rays - wrong.

Ist stop was off ballard in a 2 knot tide - a littler too much for rays generally - but not for the mini pirannah-like black bream which wrecked every large bait we put down instantly. After a couple of hours we moved to the ray mark and suffered the same consequences - as witnessed by Sparky last Friday. Last resort was to drift for plaice at the training bank - 2 hours later not a sniff from a plaice but for four feisty tubs we eventually had a bend in our rods. A brief drift in ther harbour also blanked. 

Even the lazy mackerel lines were fishless - no surprise there then..

We couldn't find any Mackerel last week Stuie.

They've been getting very rare over the last few years.

Good to see you out there Stuie, we did find lots of Mackerel in the end about a mile off Durleston and a stunning red Gurnard. Great success with new small fishermen on board.

Well done Jerry - start them young.
