Mike Fox Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Took Frisky Fox out both Saturday and Sunday for our first two trips of the year, and had a small tour of local marks, spotting several club boats on our travels. Ignored the obvious hotspots for a while, and fished a few personal favourites (without a boat for over a mile), to see how they were doing without us. No one spot seemed to excel, but tried a mixture of baits, rough, smooth, deep, shallow, and mixed it all up. Not too bad a haul of species: Doggies in up to 130' of water! Black bream (didn't fish the Bream comp, but Carol's was best at 2lb 4oz today) Mackerel (enough for bait and dinner) Garfish (George's dinner) Pollack - while bream bashing (Carol's favourite) Small-eyed ray (target species for Carol) Whiting (bit late?) Poor cod We all had fun, and slow and steady action both days. Oh, and one of the bream was sporting war wounds! A 2lb 2oz male with teeth marks round its middle, with a bite radius consistent with a tope! Think it must have been grabbed on the way in (slack line in mid-retrieve?), as the injuries were very fresh, many scales ripped out etc, and no signs of new ones.
