Tope fishing

The tope are now around in numbers. First we catch some mackerel then set the anchor on a wreck just off the Purbeck's. As the tide runs congers provide the main sport with other fish like rays, bass, pollack and jumbo pouts providing a constant stream of bites. As the tide slackens the tope appear and the fun really begins...
