People:Sweetwrasse a.n. other & myself
Duration:2 hours or soo
Tide: falling
Weather:Lovely
Bait:Feather and Rag
Rigs: Baited feathers
Results: 2x Cod 3x Ballan Wrasse, Whiting, Dab and a Gurnard
Report: Was invited out on Thursday evening from bullock harbour on a friends boat in a hope of trying to get some mack which didn't oblige not for lack of trying though. Decided to try some rougher ground closer in to see if we could find some cod and other species that could provide us with a meal. We baited up some of the feathers and dropped them down and were getting rattles fairly quickly and then getting smashed by some nice codling. We only managed to land two of them on the few drifts we did. Picked up some nice Ballans as well on the drift which put up a very good scrap, got an old bruiser of a wrasse that had a few battle wounds on it but he/she went back ok. Sweetwrasse got a good hit from a nice fish that was taking line until the seal came into play which was fairly annoying. After that we moved on as the seal was patrolling the area not much else showed up except for the dabs and whiting. Was good to get out on a boat as its been a while looking forward to the next one.
