Headed off South again today. The weather was great to say the least and the fishing good as well. The lures were working a lot better today rather than the flowing traces due to the water being clear for the first time for ages!
We started off at the south of the Island for a few mackerel before heading further South. For the first time this year the mackerel were where they are supposed to be. I think the amount of fresh water coming down the Coquet has kept them way off.
After the mackerel it was off south. There were a lot more small ling around today. Getting through the mackerel was the problem today! They were hitting anything on the way down, once Darren had three efforts to get to the bootom before he managed it.
Managed another species for this year, an Octopus as well. Great day and a good catch.I hope no-one is eating when reading this post but it was the first good weather day we have had off since May!
