Seamouse Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Hi folks, I blagged a ride on a friend's Warrior 165 on saturday, to find conditions lovely and flat despite persistent drizzle all day. We headed out deep SE of Nab to where a friend had reported 18 hounds to 10lb the day before. We matched him exactly, 18 fish between the two of us with the best going 11.5lb. The charter fleet was out on Utopia with a vengeance, nearly thirty boats at one point and hounds, tope and good numbers of mackerel being reported. Reports of plaice were coming in over the VHF too but no-one seemed to be into bream anywhere. We gave the bream a go on a reef inbound and picked up three to 2.5lb but it was hard work. Day was also livened up by discovering we'd parked just yards uptide of a whelk potter's string (he hauled right across our stern ) and watching the Calypso being towed past after her engine fire. Has to be said, the hounds this year have been sensational but the bream are just not showing in the same numbers as you guys down west are getting.
