Better late than never ....
At last we're catching good specimens of a good range of species.
The mackerel are here, about 5 weeks later than last year, and still in small, scattered shoals.
Best outing of the year so far was last Monday when a party from the sea angling section of Strathclyde Police Recreational Association fished a species hunt competition. Taking advantage of smallish tides and fair weather we fished all day over and around the Haileybury wreck in the northern North Channel.
Scoring under SFSA size rules we had 84 fish of 14 species on the card and half as many fish again of a couple more species that did not make the measure.
Best specimen of the day was Colin Hamilton's huss of 9lb 9oz.
