Our new online tackle shop was launched this week www.sea-fishing-tackle.net
Its run by anglers for anglers.It will be well worth keeping an eye on it.Once we start getting a bit of traffic on the site,we will be able to do some super deals and offers.
We found a new wreck this week just west of the Genoch Rocks it only stands about two meters,and is covered with fish mostly good Pollack,Coalfish and Haddock. My mackerel feathers worked the best.

Braid or Mono
I used to think that braid was the best thing since sliced bread.
But we have lost a lot of big fish this year with braid the problem been its very susceptible to abrasion.
As most of my fishing is wrecking braid is weakened just by touching the wreck then when it comes to playing a big fish it will let you down every time.
Tope fishing is the same if you have a big tope going mad under the boat and the braid touches the side its good bye fish. In fact it was good bye to six last week.
So its off with the braid and back to the mono for me.
Diva is back to full speed she cruises at 20 knots and max is about 25/30 knots depending on payload and tide.
