Port Patrick Boat outing

Shane Mark and myself headed to Port Patrick on Sunday to meet up with the other 9 guy's going out on the charter boat Predator 2. We had been out with Dominic last time and he put us on the fish and we were not disappointed this time too.

Leaving the harbour at 9am and heading to our first stop inshore as the tide was a bit stronger then we thought for any tope fishing. Shane was first to land a couple of fish a nice haddock around a 1lb mark and a small spur of 3lbs 6ozs then the doggies began to play everyone getting them.

 As the tide slackened a bit around 12 we headed out for the bigger ones. At first we were hit with doggies again then Pete landed a nice Bull huss at 14lbs. Iain was next to land a nice tope of 23lbs 6ozs. Then some of the guys were landing doggies and Shane some whitting around the 1lb mark. I was next with a Bull huss at 11lbs 8ozs and then Matt was into something big maybe a bigger tope as his 50lb class rod had a good bend and as he got some line onto his reel the line snapped.

 

 The last couple of hours we went Pollack fishing and a few were caught. We had a sweep £2.50 for the heaviest fish and £2.50 for any other heaviest fish. Well done to Iain and Pete winning  £30 each. A good days fishing.

ASAC Record

Willie contacted me with a new club record for outside Scottish water. Stuart and Willie was on a fishing trip for tuna and they were not disappointed with them catching 13 tuna between them biggest one at an estimated weight for 500lbs. Well done guys as all fish were returned alive.

 

Fishing a couple hours at Dunure

Shane and I went fishing for a couple of hours at Dunure as we had some bait left over from the club match 2 days a go. Fishing was slow till the tide turned and we had a few coalies,dabs,mackerel and 3 bearded rockling.

Port Patrick

Went fishing with Shane at the weekend and headed to Port Patrick for session. The weather was great and the sea calm. We pot the beach rods out and once the baits had settled we went onto some spinning. We took turns about watching  the big rods and spinning. Species catch were grey gurnards, coalies and Pollack. Most off the Pollack came on the spinning rods.

Club shore match

A few off us fished the club shore match at the weekend. Arriving at our fishing destination and seeing the conditions looked good for the possibility of a few smooth hounds being about. Results are as follows.

1st F Spiers with 5 fish's for 213pts
2nd T McGorian with 4 fish for 137pts
3rd S Wilson with 3 fish for 109pts
4th equal I Grant and M Bletsoe with 2 fish for 70pts
5th M Wilson with 1 fish for 34pts

                                             All fish were returned back alive.

Few hours Fishing

Went fishing to dunure with Shane for a couple off hour's as we had some bait left from the weekend's club match. Fishing was slow to start with although there was a nice roll on the sea.
We ended up with a few coalies for our efforts.
