Yes folks, it's time to discuss going to Alderney again.
Looking for small tides the best dates are between Friday the 6th May and Tuesday 10th May, unfortunately the early May bank holiday is smack in the springs.. The next lot of neaps are around 2 weeks later but they are not very small at all so very much a backup.
Last year we went in July, the flattie fishing was 'ok', best fish was a Brill of 8-6, there was at least 1 low double Turbot from Reel Magic (I think). Earlier in the season we have found the fishing to be better, but it's not all about the fishing by any means! We caught quite well on a wreck on the return trip with at least 1 cod and some pollock around double figures plus some smaller ones.
Tigerfish is up for going, Alun is keen.
Anyone else?
