After some unsuccess off Ballard we tried drifting the ledge off durleston. Lou and James caught mackerel there and one red gurnard. live baiting gave me the thrill of a big fish on! Six foot from the boat I saw a flash of silver and then itpower dived and spat the bait out unharmed except for suspected PTSD. Went to 5px50s planning to deploy our secret weapon . Mr ricks had given us some of his trout offal chum. With the tide moving hard we spent a fruitless hour there. Tried to do it again close in at Ballard and dissapointingly had no bites . A drift further out and a few in the swash all blanked. Final thoughts… get rid of all the rusty hooks.

Yeah that will be last plaice for Gummage but we had a great dayDaughter Lou haled an enchanting rock (her first) followed by a crab and then had a tussle with something lively, well never know what. Her boyfriend James discovered a secret wrasse mark!Is it a Ballan? What is the deciding feature.?

Lots of eruptions in the water today and I left my grumpy mood out there as well, happy wife happy life. IMG_7287.MOV

Well what a great fishing day that was. I was the only person fishing as Brad was doing the go pro and Carol was taking the still photos and galley maid!! (With regards to the photos seems like I was the only one to get the memo!!!) Brad will be compiling a You Tube of the day which will be uploaded to the club's website when done (hopefully) I caught a total of 38 fish on the day (Carol was also fish recorder!!!) However, I only had a total of 8 species. If the day was about catching fish for the table then I would of had a bumper feast. Bass of 3 lbs 46 cm long, 2lb Black Bream and a plump plaice which I did not weigh approx 2 lb ish. However, in the spirit of the day I put all the fish back (including the plaice). (Oh except for the mackerel which were lethal for Tope Bait) Species Caught: Dogfish Black Bream Mackerel Tope Ballan Wrasse Pout Bass Plaice The highlight of the day had to be the Tope out on the Spoil. We were inundated by the Tope probably because of the abundance of Mackerel. Mackerel were caught on every drop. Even my 3 hook feathers were full on one drop. Same with the Tope, they would not leave us alone as I was trying for a Conger and Undulate. I was even catching them on squid. They were feisty buggers but really great sport.

Well done guys, looks like you had the hang of this one Jerry

Tough day on the Rays, J2 had a 15lbs Blonde, Stuie had one 14lbs 8oz both on at once. I couldn’t raise a smile!!!

Effort, you ain't kidding Chris, I had to wake up our film director at one point as he had fallen off to sleep !!! 😏

Sorry Terry would love to have but we are away Friday
