June '15 Monthly Report
Since the last report fishing has continued to impress right
across the grounds with even the worse days producing above average results.
Inshore fishing is still showing very good numbers of bream with 3lb plus fish
being netted regularly. It’s always a welcome sight to see undulate rays so
abundant on the same grounds and many anglers have been keeping themselves busy
targeting these as well. A little further off and the bass fishing has started,
no great numbers yet but a few nice ones on both live baits and artificials.
Unfortunately bad weather has put pay to my latest trip to Alderney but we did
manage to get across at the end of May despite the weather trying its best to
stop us. Fishing was good with cod and turbot in good numbers over the first 3
days. The last day produced a challenge with 40 knots of south-westerly
forecast, Martin Donovan and his crew were undeterred and we piled down the
south bank for a couple of hours and were rewarded with a fine turbot of 15lb
8oz to round the trip off. Next week I will be over to Cherbourg for the first
time this year, with the amount of fish out on the wrecks our side I can’t wait
to go further afield and have a look.
