2011 2012

January 2012. Nothing much to report yet unfortunatly, the weather is just diabolical, winds are consistently strong and are stopping us from taking advantage of the few bookings we actually get at this time of year. We have had a trip out to the Skerries which was just plastered with Whiting, nothing of any great size but there must have been millions of them. One wrecking trip out on a good forecast to a wreck 2 hrs away. Left Dartmouth in flat calm conditions but by the time we were over the wreck it was blowing 3 parts of a gale. We managed half a dozen smallish Pollack but had to head back inshore in ever worsening conditions. We should have stayed in bed.

June. Plaice fishing still excellent. We were out last Sunday and broke our record for numbers of Plaice boated. We finished the day with 121, 10 more than last years record of 111. I will post some more pics of the day when I get a bit more time, but in the interim click this link to see what one of the lads put up on the world sea fishing forum about their day. http://www.worldseafishing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=506124
