Leicester Fisheagle Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Went offshore to 140 plus feet hoping for a turbot or brill. Reasonable no. of fish, but no target species. Moved onto Sadler for a few hours. Waste of time. Nothing to report. One of my crew now not only needs an anchor management course but also an anger management course. Could the Club organise one?

Mal Thomas Posted June 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 If thats where you fished when I was over there, we also tried the same spot saturday, it's devoid of fish probably from that Trawler I saw. Greg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve S Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Well done Mal a great fish to win the comp (never mind about the method!) I make that just 4 people reporting fish caught from 12 boats and at least 24 anglers entered, that's a very very thin return. Any suggestions why? fish not biting, no fish there to be caught, entered the comp but a flattie would be a fluke in the area fished.

Oli Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 For us it was a case of entering the comp just in case there was a bonus flattie while wrecking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oli Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 And how was the wrecking Oli? Very good and absolutely stunning weather, the sea was a mirror all day - more cod this time but the pollack weren't as big - biggest was about 10lbs but lots of fun! niggle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Thomas Posted June 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 The method was a rumour started by bad boy Nigel, I was using a bluey wrapped around some squid, not your typical tope bait. I was hoping for a large Blonde ray to be honest. Nigel will be laughing up his sleeve at me defending my so called tope fishing fluke. However we did find cuttle was the turbots main diet which was surprising. niggle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve S Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 I was using a bluey wrapped around some squid, not your typical tope bait. Err but not quite your typical Turbot bait either! Cuttle, interesting, I think they will take anything that comes in sucking distance of that huge mouth. Kingfisher 126 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 we spent a lot of the day in deep water But ended the day inshore drifting with ragworm, so we did at least try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
