Hi Mark The weather here has not really been that cold ? and water temp is well up on normal for the time of year. got to say the fishing is also well above par for the time of year with lots of fish getting caught that you would not normally expect to catch until later in the year. Still lots of Bass about altough we are not allowed to keep any also all types of rays, spurdogs, Cod,few smoothounds, Congers nearly every other drop on the big baits,some nice whiting, still plenty of Flounders few Plaice, herring, Bullhuss, and the lots of dogfish. also the Pollock have now started on the wrecks with the odd one popping up inshore. The only down side has been the amount of wind this last three months which has made getting out very hard with just small weather windows with some trips just for half a day.
