The fishing over the Holiday weekend was good at the start and as the weather deteriorated the fishing died off a bit.On the Friday, fishing with 2 Irish and 2 German anglers we caught a variety of species including,Mackerel,Pollack,Coalfish,Pouting,Whiting,Dogfish,Bullhuss,Ling,Conger,cuckoo wrasse,Ballan wrasse,Common Skate,Cod and plenty of sandeel.The cod were all nice fish, the heaviest at 6 kg,the ling medium size and the skate which was tagged previously aprox weight 25kg,which was caught on light tackle a 12lb class rod and a spinning reel.The Captor, Bert Fritzche from Liepzig in Germany was well pleased with his catch .On the shore the Bass were scarce but fishing with crab produced a few decent fish off Tanners pier,and a Dutch angler fishing off the pontoon last night caught a 3kg Bass using crab.Hopefully the weather will settle down in the next few days as the cold north-easterly winds are not good for fishing ,Tight lines ,Mark.
