We have been fishing mainly to the west of the lizard point lately, but last weekend the forecast to the west was not looking so good so we headed east to fish in the more sheltered waters in lyme bay.
The cuttle fish had started to come onto the grounds up to the east and for 3 or 4 days we had not to bad a fishing for them, but by tuesday with the strong spring tide making the cuttle fishing started to slacken off. So the boat headed back down the coast to fish to the west agiain.

The excellent fishing for litter scheeme has been running in the southwest for well over a year now, and I am proud to say we have been part of the scheme from day one.

We have just finished another trip and have been in today doing a few jobs, the fishing wasn't to bad considering the huge tide we had this week.
It was quite a quiet trip up until saturday night, I was on watch and we had just finished putting the catch down in the hold, when I heard a distress call on the VHF. I never thought much of it and wrote down the name of the vessel and his rough position, which he said was 10miles south of the lizard point.

I have a trip off again this week, we have been picking away quite nicely the last few weeks. We have been catching more John Dory's of late, they usual start to shoal up again this time of year.

I have been away at sea for another two weeks, so its about time I blogged again.
The fishing has been good with a steady catch although last week over the big tide the fishing had become very flighty. It was quite frustrating at times keeping up with the fish as they were moving around a fair bit, but with nearly 2knots of tide in the water it was hardly suprising that the fish were moving around alot.

We have been picking away quite nicely the last few weeks, the weather has been up and down but it hasn't stopped us , only for a day last week when we had a full gale from the south.
But as usual with fishing, things never run smoothly, we finished a 6day trip on thursday evening and turned the boat around and was ready to sail again within a couple of hours.

We have been busy since we left Tom's boatyard over 2weeks ago, the weather has been good and we have been able to put a few trips together.
We got off to a good start with 2 good trips off in the deeper water to the southwest of the scillies, there has been a good run of haddocks on the grounds as well as some lovely sized megs and monks to go with it.

The boat arrived back into Newlyn late tuesday afternoon after a six day trip to the southwest of the scillies. We landed our catch into the lorry for sale on the wednesday's market at Plymouth.
This was the last landing for nearly 3 weeks as we were due up to Tom's boatyard on the Friday morning for our annual refit and paint up, but before we headed up to Polruan we had a lot to do to get the boat ready.

I have had a busy week again, we landed last wednesday after a short trip to the grounds off to the southerd. The fishing wasn't to bad but the fish were flighty and moving across the ground quick, which made trying to stop in the best place to fish difficult.
