Last year (2022) we had such a busy summer we struggled to find time to head off to the land of no fish (some of the marks a long way offshore) but we did manage a couple of days when weather, tides and people made it possible to go exploring. We had been busy bass…

This week I thought I would focus on the coddling we have seen over the last couple of months on our general trips. since their disappearance 8 years ago we have all-but given up expecting to catch these fish. however this year has seen a slight improvement in their numbers even if the stamp isn’t…

As we head into spurdog season I thought I would give you all a gentle reminder of what our winter offshore trips can produce. This time I will look back at what we had earlier this year in anticipation of what may be on its way. Trying to arrange offshore trips at this time of…

Our general trips remain productive, with a constant run of bits coming through. the whiting are on the baits instantly with the dogfish close behind. As ever in between we are catching rays, pouting, even late bass and a smattering of codling too. The easterly winds stopped us heading offshore for a couple of trips…

I thought I would give you a break from banging on about the bass fishing and report on how our general trips have been lately. The bites continue to come thick and fast, there’s certainly no shortage of fish to be had. As ever the majority of our catches have been made up of whiting…

I thought I would share a few pics from our latest offshore bass trips this week. I have spaces this week and fishing has still been very good despite us being so late in the season now. at times the water has been very clear which allows us to carry on lure fishing too when…

We have had a fair mix of weather over the last week or two. The temperature has been up and down though still pretty mild. And the wind has varied from strong northerlies to light southerly breezes. We have managed to find fish and keep everybody catching in all conditions though. The whiting and dogfish…

After such a great summer the recent turn in the weather has come as a bit of a shock to the system. Thankfully we havnt lost many trips although it did curtail a few offshore trips last week. All is not lost as there are still a few weeks left to get off there and…

We have seen a variety of weather over the past week or two. From flat calm sunny days to wind and rain but thankfully we have been able to get the lads on plenty of fish. from bass offshore to dabs in the river there is no shortage of fish at the moment. Our general…

Our general trips have been producing lots of fish lately as we would expect at this time of year. The whiting and dogfish are nailing our baits very quickly and in between them we are still seeing several different species. There are still one or two decent bass showing inshore. the roker are there though…

Well I have been very busy since returning from our holiday to Ireland.  The weather may not have been perfect but it worked out well for most trips. The wind direction was in our favour and there are plenty of fish around all over the place at the moment too. This meant that we have…

As I’m sure you have noticed there has been a marked change in conditions of late. Just a few weeks ago it was balmy out there. I hadn’t worn a jumper in weeks and after a prolonged settled period and warm weather many fish weren’t feeding. Suddenly there were heavy dews in the mornings, northerly…

After a break from pictures of bass last week I have a few more to share again this week. They have continued to provide great sport and  a few for the table too. They will continue to show offshore until the end of November so keep an eye out for spaces. We should catch them…

The wind has changed direction, the mercury has dropped and the heavy dew each morning suggest autumn is on its way. The fish don’t miss these signs either and so we have seen the numbers of thorn-back rays (roker) increase over the last few weeks. This is great news for our general trips and should…
