One of the benefits of being self employed is being able to say f***k it I'm having the afternoon off to go fishing. With an evening of Callig and Ling to look forward to Corrie c left Douglas at 2.30 to catch the bait, relentless skippered by ali and crewed by fishy junior were meeting us in castletown bay later on. On route down south we stopped off for an hour at grianagh and had dogs, cuckoos, Ballen, Codling, coalies and mackerel but still havnt had the elusive bream yet used up all the worms we had then headed south to the warts to catch the eels. The sea was like a mill pond at the warts and we had about 70 eels in an hour. Time to go callig fishing.
We met relentless in castletown bay and after handing over some eels we started to fish, there were loads of fish in the 5 - 7 lb bracket and Ali had a couple around 8lb, we had decided at the start to have £5 a head for heaviest callig and heaviest other and only callig over 7lb would qualify so Ali was looking good, he also had a cod over 3lb looking to clean up.
At the top of the tide the fishing died off with the run so corrie c went to another mark in the bay in search of the fish and this proved quite fruitful. Straight back into the fish again with yours truly catching a 9lb 4 oz Callig ( seasons best ) , we then ran out of live eels and with 20mins to go before we were due to head home I dropped a dead eel deep in search of a ling and was rewarded with a 7lb 9oz ling ( another seasons best) Met Ali back in the bay showed him the pictures of the winning fish and relieved relentless of the dosh
I did however make a schoolboy error in going fishing in just a t shirt and shorts , by 8 o clock I was frrrreeezing wont do that again

Thanks for the report steve ,never leave port without a jersy ,cold these summer nights .

tigers camera, dont know whether hes computer literate

Yeah quality session on Wednesday Steve. Brian doesn't like parting with cash so the pressure was getting to him big time. He was chuffed with his pb callig of 8lb 12oz though. The codling was just shy of 5lb so was gutted when your 3lb ling beat me. haha. I think Tiger needs to work on his photographhy skills!

he was concentrating on scales and not the fish, cant multitask

Yes it was a great nights fishing,it's a shame ally entered into the wrong comp with his 5 lb cod..unlucky!!. Still waiting for my pc to get fixed so sorry no pictures going on for the time being.Steve you forgot to put on ur report about the ling i had on that was lip hooked I needed someone to quickly grap the net!!! Oops that one didn't get landed did it!!!!...quality night tho
