A couple of Bass

Martin managed a couple of school Bass on lures on Friday night.
Over a weak set of tides he was glad to catch them just the same. He nearly lost the fish below to a seal only realising how close it came to being the seals supper when Jamie sent him the picture.

Gordon's racking up a few more species for his boat tally


A nice Plaice
A lovely Gurnard

Remember if you have a pub  keep GG away from the cash register and check his pockets for contraband before he leaves the bar.....

A few species for the John and Shane

John, Shane and Gordon are pitching in with a few species.
Shane with a Plaice


Here he is again this time with a small Thornie in a sort of crouching Buda type pose, not sure what's going on there chief ;0)


A nice summers evening....



A nice fish to add to the tally from the shore for John here with a Ling



Another tick in the box with a Cluggie

Ducking the weather

We seem to be a bit light on Sharkatag pictures but the guys kept themselves busy waiting for Sunday to arrive.
Big nae chips, AKA Winston, looks like his arse has been handed to him. Never mind Graham at least the beers handy.

Romulus and Remus waiting for a bite, frankly the dugs in with a better shout!

A few Bass and a parrot

Martin fished  Thursday night & Friday night last week and managed five Bass on hard and soft lures, nothing big but at least he was catching. He got some sun on Friday afternoon but  prior to this was attacked by two yorkies before being bitten by a parrot late that night whilst having a pint....happy days !

Martin's Mullet...we all know thats a thing of the past so here he is with a fish

2.9 pounds on a porridge and Gulp cocktail. The fish was returned after Martin roped in some passing civilains for drop net and camera duty, the man has no shame!

Dan the man makes a return, Smoothies and Bass

Nice little report here from Dan fishing in Luce Bay. He's not been out for a couple of years,  not lost his touch ! But Dan, stick to four wheels ,it's usually safer!

Conditions were decent, coloured sea, decent south westerly blow. Setting up at a low tide mark on the west side in the morning. Between showing Louis how to bait, cast and generally fish I managed an early bass and a few doggies, with a couple of doggies going his way.

The tide turned and the bites were a bit slow, so we moved to another area on the East side for the rise and after a slow first hour it turned a bit hectic! 

6-7 smoothhounds (including one common around 5lbs, two starries at 7lbs), around 20 dogs and a coalie and constant bites made things quite busy. The rain was heavy and skipping across the rocks was interesting!
Anyway, a good day's fishing, plans to camp were scrubbed as we were both soaked, but I'm planning to get back soon. It was an eye-opener for Louis to fish into the teeth of the howling wind and rain but he did ok without a complaint despite only having trainers on and being frozen.
