I fished on a charter boat out of Yarmouth on Friday, we fished 3 miles south of the Needles, between the eight on the boat we had about 80whiting, 20 Spurs to 20lb although the guy next to me lost one at the boat which I reckon was 25lb + the biggest one I have seen, we also had about 20 congers to about 20lb 5 x rays 1 x bullhuss + a few dogfish and one pout one guy also had a shark on for about 5mins which was interesting went right round the boat before heading south, we also had a porpoise come out of the water right next to the boat and no one had another bite after that so no fish for last hour and 15 mins. No cod caught and skipper has not heard of any since start of October apart from a few in the Solent ?
Lovely day to be on the water and only used 8 ozs of lead at height of tide with big cuttle baits.
