Alderney 3 2011

Our third trip to Alderney this year. Day 1 was a bumpy crossing with a fresh SW wind. Plenty of nice pollack on the wrecks around the hurd deep with live mackerel taking the better fish. Day 2 saw an increase in wind and tough fishing conditions. Fish of the day was a 17.5lb turbot caught by Gery Reed. Day 3 and with improving conditions the quantity of flatfish increased. A nice 5lb brill for Mark Edwars who also caught 6 turbot as well! Friday and the wind has dropped away. We are off for some codding on the way home. The cod got bigger as the day went on. a 22lber for James Craft was topped with a 25lber for Mark Edwards who then followed this up with a 32lber which is a new boat record.

Andy Ford was on board for this trip and you will be able to see the film of the trip on Sky Sports Tight Lines in 4 instalments starting in about 6 weeks time.
