Michael McVeigh, skipper of the Rosguill out of Downings is back fishing…
02 June
Mackerel – patchy, but end May is OK – let’s hope they are back after around 5 years now of “messing around”.
Limeburner – off to a flying start with loads of Whiting & Haddock.
Tory – Good so far for reef Pollack and Flatfish on the sand.
Tope – struggled a whole day to catch just 4 Tope.
Wrecks – usual for May/June – loads of Coalfish – Yuk!!!
08 June
Season continues apace: –
Mackerel still a bit patchy – I remain hopeful that they will be plentiful soon.
Conger – caught a 32lb Conger which is a great size for around here
Limeburner – fishing great for Whiting, Haddock etc – in fact Whiting are close to becoming the “New Coalfish”.
Tope – scarce
Common Skate – the new Common Skate mark produces again in 2017
Tory – good for Pollack & Flatfish
Bays – Thornbacks OK – another day or so before finding out about other fish
Octopus – made a return in 2016 and still here!
Sandeels – 2016 and there were millions around on the sand – seems to be a good few this year also.
