Surprise Fishing

As the club match was rearranged for another week my son Shane and I decided to go fishing anyway. We already had the bait so off to our mark we headed. Arriving there it did not look promising as the dark clouds were above us and the wind had picked up a little. Shane had the frist bite on his first cast which turned out to be a small smoothie nice to see.

Species Hunt

Shane and myself went species hunting over the last couple off weeks. We managed to get a few species off the clubs species hunt list.

Arbroath Boat Charter Outing

Frank Shane and myself headed to Arbroath for a days fishing aboard MV Ardent. Arriving at McDonald's in Arbroath around 8.00am meeting the other guys Matt James Davie and Tony for a coffee and a quick tactic's chat. Headed out at 9.00am and drifted a couple of times close in shore.Matt was the first one into a what looked like a good fish on his spinning rod a small cod off 1lb 8ozs.

As there was only small fish about the skipper decided to head over to the bell rock light house which proved to be the better move.Frank had a good solid bite as he hit bottom but after a couple off turns on the reel it popped the hook. A few nice fish were about but as the tide started to pick up the skipper tried to keep us on the fish as the drift became a bit quicker. Through out the day the main stay was cod wrasse and a small ling for Tony.

On the day we ran a sweep of £5.00. £17.50 going to the heaviest cod and £17.50 to any other heaviest fish. James had the heaviest cod at 4lbs 5ozs. Davie had a nice Ballan Wrasse at 1lb 10ozs well done guys a good day out for all.  Looking forward to the next one lads.
