Looking at my video came across these ones fishing Port logan with my mate Richard.

SW Club Match

Ten anglers fished  in the 20-30mph winds and a few were rewarded with some fish.Willie with an outstanding 42 fish winning catch and Stuart with the best Cod which was a nice fish at 4 pounds 13 oz. Ten Cod caught and the balance of the catches were made up of Flounder, Dab, Dogfish, Coalie and some nice Whiting, decent turn out, and some fish to be had.

Spurdog Tagathon

Fished the spurdog tagathon  for spurdogs, thornbacks with some club members. The fishing not to good as in previous years. There were a few good spurs caught the best being 14lb 05ozs. In total 9 double sized spurs in three days fishing between 10 boats not a good return.

Headed to Port Patrick for a days fishing. We arrived at the carpark and headed to our fishing spot. Mixed fishing was Pollock, Ballan Wrasse, Flounder and Dabs, and Strap Conger.

A night down the local beach

Headed down the beach for a few hours fishing with my sons Shane and Nico. We were met by Jamie Iain and Will. Jamie had a few fish but no picts as he was fishing further down the beach. Nico Iain and myself had a few flounders. not bad for a few hours fishing.

We then heard young Chris had a bass too did not get his pict. Then Will had a small flounder. By this time Iain was into his second bass. Then one for yours truly. Then we heard Nico had landed a bass. So there was a few bass around. By this time Iain was landing his 3rd bass. We had heard that most of the guys were landing bass. Not a bad nights fishing.

Night out with the lads

I managed to tag along with Shane and Will on a couple of days fishing. On the friday night went digging bait then onto a bit of fishing on the hunt for bass hoping to get my first one. First bass fell to Will on his first chuck. Then we had a few flounders, a couple of missed bites and still no bass for yours truly. Then there came a shout of yahoo from Will and he had a double shoot. He had caught a bass and an other one hit him on the way in Lucky white heather eh. Nice bass too. So 3 bass Will, Shane and myself a couple of flounders. We fished for about four hours as Will was working the next day. Still not a bass for me. Next day Shane gave me a call we are going back for an other go tonight want to go. Gear was already and we headed down. First bass fell to Shane nice wee schoolie then a nice flounder. 2 Shane 0 Will and myself. Then Shane takes a cracker of a bite and lands a bass of 6lbs 3ozs and I shake my head what am I doing wrong. By this time Will is into a good bass also in the six pound mark. So with 20 Min's to go before we packed up. I got a bite with a slack line to follow could feel the fish biting and then missed it. Brought it in full of weed and low and behold on the end was my first bass.
Not a big fish but has broken my 36 years of not getting a bass. what a fish.... A good weekends fishing.
