Fishing report 15th and 16th of August

Start of the fishing trip: conditions

As we all know, the weather has been bad lately, making it difficult to go out. Despite this, I decided to go offshore to some deep-water marks since the weather was supposed to be good. I met my crew at Fort Road Cafe at 9 am and we headed out to sea.

The boat's first stop

We began by halting at the edge of the marina on the west arm, where we caught some magnificent mackerel to use as bait.

Straight to the wreck

We made a beeline for a nearby wreck where rumours of big black bream and other fish abound. As we arrived we saw multiple boats floating around it, so I proposed that we drift the wreck until they vacated the area.

On to the wrecks

Once on the wreck, we used flappers to lure the bream off it, which proved successful. Throughout the day we caught cod, congers, bream, bass, gurnard, mackerel, scad, plaice, ballan wrasse, pout and tope, all on fresh mackerel bait. Fresh bait is crucial for fishing success anywhere. Hopefully the weather will improve in the coming weeks.

See you soon. Regards, Captain Ant

Fancy a day like this? See the Prices 2027 or get in touch. We only offer the whole boat for charter on some trips, so the cost is the same if you bring one passenger or ten.
