Decided to give the Haddock marks a try today, with the weather still and the tides small. The hours steam seemed an age aboard Juan's boat, but it got us to the right location.
Fishing was in approximately 180-190ft of water with the tide backing to slack water. First drop resulted in fish for everyone, myself getting a Haddock and a Mackerel, Graham getting a nice Whiting with a Haddock, few other Whiting and Haddock. About a dozen Haddock where caught along with plenty of Whiting.
I got my first Red Gurnard of the year, and few of the others got them too. The tide slackened right off, so did the fishing. We moved over a bit, to some slightly shallower and rougher ground. Me and Graham got a Codling of about 2lb each soon as we touched the bottom, a small Ling, a Pout and a couple of Dogfish where caught too.We then spent quite a bit of time only catching a few whiting, we decided to head in and have a fish for a few Callig on the way in.
Stopped at the back of the Breakwater and all got a few Callig before calling it a day.

nice variety os species there cam lad,nice one on the gurnard

was going to go to the haddock mark today but stoped on the ling mark! thing is if we would of turned up i think they would of made you swim back how big was the haddock ? nice with curry

We were not too far from Ling Mark, about 2-3 mile west of it I think. Haddocks were small, all border line keepers, all went back fine.
Kept a coddy for my tea though.

think the haddock mark i have down there is 3 miles towards the calf from the ling mark ! no haddock of douglas yet! hope by the time i get back the fishing will have picked up

Well in cam , nice to see some of the species arriving back as one more does from mexico , bad thing is is that we loose another species to mexico in the form of micheal ,but i have done all the ground work for him
