Results: John Dory!!, mackerel, pollack, cod, launce, dogfish, coalfish, gurnard, whiting
Report: After watching the wind Saturday afternoon, and getting some work out of the way headed out in the evening for a spot of fish catching. The usual suspects caught early on as we drifted over harbour rock and down the channels. Did a long drift back down the harbour and ended up off Carlisle close in to the rocks where we got into some bigger pollack and cod. Imagine my surprise when John pulled a John Dory into the boat. He caught it on feathers in about 3-4m of water, 15m off shore. Wouldn't mind, but he hardly ever goes sea fishing and that would have been a great addition to my species list - 2 feet away from my first new species of the year....... :twisted: (photo to follow when he gets it off his camera)
Fished there for a while longer (desperation), but only pollack. Headed off buoy 6 for some rays, but nothing doing there. Finished up back off Carlisle spinning for pollack in the half light. Good craic and biggest pollack of 8.5lbs tested the small spinning rod I was using. Would have stayed all night, it was so nice, but my wife might have been onto the coastguards (or a private dective). So we were back in just before midnight.
