Never tried some of your normal marks Keith as stayed North today but as stated Sid tried Crab, just not a great deal about other than scotties or 1-3lb codling at the mo.

Jfk was out so maybe he did better.Wont be long man until the water cleans up and a few better ling start showing am sure.

Good luck if your out, drift was good again today, sure you lot manage a few close in with the fresh crab and mackerel..never tried the flowing traces or at anchor...maybe next time if its still hard going...still ended up with codling for the pot thou and two good days just not the bigguns i was hoping for.

Cheers lads, out on The Boys in the morning, was hoping to try the shads & pirks but it sounds like crab will be the order of the day.

Its very muddy close in but once you get 2 miles out you can see your daylights or pirk about 8-10ft down, close in and its gone after 3ft lol.

They prob go wild for the fresh crab Keith in the current conditions, never really had any bait that gave a good trail really.

Good luck anyway...sitting here nursing sun burn now lol
