[northeast1]

New record....blanked in June for the first time in my life

42 miles covered, 14 wrecks tried over 11 hours fishing between 3 of us for 3 fish.

No sign of mackerel, water very dirty upto about 9 miles out and little showing from the wrecks...trying the rough ground Sunday its got that bad

Tough luck Richy, really expected to see some great reports today. Was expecting to be really jealous around about now.

Got to improve soon

On the bright side mate, in the words of D-Ream "things can only get better"

Good luck tomorrow & roll on the 24th.

[Codcrazy]

Oh dear........!
If its any consolation fish turned up on the hard ground at last today.... Tough start but picked up as drift slowed around high water, biggest 5lb, average 2 to 3lb with a lot of small stuff under a 1lb. Will put a report up later!

Bad luck lads, it looks like inshore is the answer but you've gotta be in it to win it as they say. The wrecks have got to switch on sooner or later.

Just had to edit our catch report, I had the date as the first of May, I guess I just can't accept it's June.

[01kayak]

that's a lot of ground covered
wont be long before your pulling double figure fish from them wrecks
if you don't go to them you don't know
I hope you have better luck on the hard ground jeff

[canman]

Wow! Rich, that's a hell of a session for little return. Hope yous fair better tomorrow mate.
I'll wait till Monday I think, the high pressure will be right over the north east, so little or no wind with only the tide controlling the drift.

[oldessox]

Keep at it Richy , they surely have to turn up sometime soon , he who dares wins and all that

[Iva-Cod-on]

Thats one 10 outta 10 for effort Rich I think the hard groud is defo worth a go

[northeast1]

Yer i will be trying the hard ground, not my type of fishing but used 2/3 a tank of fuel today for little so worth a bash and i am sure i will sneak out to the wrecks in the afternoon once the drift slows

shocking

[northeast1]

Is that shocking the distance v fish numbers or just the fact no mackerel yet

[Charlton]

both, especially the no mackerel getting withdrawl symptoms, it has to pick up shortly

[northeast1]

Much of the same today, planned to fish the rough ground but after about 2hrs of rough ground fishing and 11 small fish landed i left the chance of hitting numbers of 1-3lb fish and went in the search of bigger fsh....as expected not a great deal from the wrecks north either, hit a load of pouting and some cod upto 4lb but not in numbers.

Called Mondays trip off until it picks up on the wrecks...thats if it does???

Guess at the moment its fish for 1-3lb fish close in or dont bother fishing..tough times but thats fishing for you. Always next weekend

They're good pan-sized fish Richy, just what's needed to refill the freezer after all the lean months.
