Report, Silver Spray - Bream

Date - 10/05/08

Glorious weather and a day out with Andy on Silver Spray. First off we headed West and anchored up close in for a bream session. It was not long until I landed the first fish of the day, a lovely male bream of around 2lb. I managed another 20 or so bream and some ballan wrasse, before we up anchored and moved a little further out to try for something bigger!


A short session 'feathering' produced enough fresh bait for the rest of the day. 1st drop down with a side of mackerel on a 6/0 hook, and up comes and eel in the 30lb bracket. Next up there were the usual dogs, pout, poor cod etc, and then a nice thornie, and undulate were hooked within minutes.

With the tide easing off, so did the action. It was time to up anchor and make our way home.


Species Caught - Black Bream, Ballan Wrasse, Conger Eel, Dogfish, Mackerel.

Caught by others on trip - Undulate Ray, Thornback Ray, Pollack, Poor Cod, Pouting.
