Welsh Buoy 10/06/15

[Graham B]

I have been off on my mate Lance's boat Welsh Buoy a couple of time this season but today is the first one worthy of a catch report. We had a few fish earlier but nothing like today.
We left the marina at a leisurely half nine this morning and first wreck we were into fish on twin tails and lead heads.

This was the case every wreck we visited as once one went quiet a quick move and straight into the action again.
Here's lance with the biggest ling today on a pirk:

We were getting very used to the exceptional fishing and returned a lot of fish this afternoon after we had filled our containers.

All fish today were on lures with shads being the killer this afternoon and gave our arms a break from the pirking! No bait needed at all today.

The filleting took a good while this afternoon.

Here's another photo from another session I sneaked in after work from the shore in Stavanger.

The fishing over there has been super with some massive collies and big pollack!
Trout fishing next as we have got a trip planned to thrunton long crag.

nice pics and good report

where were you fishing in stavanger ? on the jetty in the town or more towards Sola. Have you ever tried a single hook with a peeled prawn? that's good fun.

I was fishing a bit further out of Stavanger at mekjavik gmc yard scrubs. I didn't try bait but they were going daft for any kind of shiny lure, no good with the rubber twin tails etc though.

If you go back, go to the supermarket and get some frozen prawns, tie on a 1 or 1/0 hook and put a peeled prawn on, bait elastic helps. Nothing else, that's it,
the hard bit is getting it in the water , it will slowly sink down to the bottom. Usually before it hits the bottom the pollack or coalie , can't remember which, slams into it. on a little telescopic spinning rod it 's certainly hair raising, got snapped a lot until I set the drag and I had to find somewhere to get them out of the water. You can buy the prawns from the market on the front But I tend to eat them all before I get fishing. yummeee.
