End of April 2008 - the fish arrive!

Suddenly the weather improved a bit and the fishing improved a lot. There were pollack on the wrecks and turbot on the banks and loads of bream inshore.

A fine 15lb pollack caught with live sandeels.

John Tisdale's ambition fulfilled - a fine 17lb turbot that nearly pulled the rod overboard with a terrific bite
