We managed a session after work on Tuesday and had the same problem as you with a drift so fast we could have overtaken some of the sailing boats. We tried a couple of close wrecks then the rough ground close in, seeking shelter under the cliffs at Souter. When the wind dropped to hurricane force we had a last blast out to the dirty wreck where we were knocked all over by the short sharp waves as they raced us out to sea.
Haddocks from Scotland saved us from blanking but only just.
The fish finder showed some strong mid-water echoes covering areas of thirty or forty feet in diameter, possibly dense shoals of bait fish. Anyone else seen them?
