Great report Jerry, big thank you to you, Steve and all of the Reel Magic crew for a fantastic time, having never been to the Channel Islands before it was a very special and memorable trip, great fishing experience and brilliant company.
Second half all of the trip over once we had finished on the wrecks was a little bit choppy for my constitution but the Turbot did respond well to my ground baiting !
Shame that the weather was against us on Sunday but it was great to have a chance walk to the South end of the island at Fort Clonque and after a bit of rock climbing, chuck a lure into some of the most Bassy water I have ever seen, fizzy water with rips and Gannets diving into what must have been vast shoals of sandeels all within casting range, alas no Silver bars but did pick up several hard fighting Wrasse on SP’s. Charlie later told me the Bass don’t really show up in Alderney in numbers until a bit later in the year which may have explained the lack of action despite near perfect conditions.
Cant wait to go back again and see if I can catch up with some bigger Turbot and a Bass or two !
Don’t think I’ll be giving up fishing to peruse my curling career though, not sure I want to get a reputation as a scrubber !😂
