At last some good weather ,We spent two days at Lendalfoot looking for Tope it turned out to be a complete waist of time,not even a sniff of a Tope.Iv come to the conclusion that the best place for Tope is Loch Ryan.
Mark fishing has been very good with most days catching over 12 species,best results on Lug and Ragworm .We had some nice Wrasse to about 4lb on float fished Ragworm at the Oust Rocks good fun on light tackle.
Wreck fishing has been good as well .we have been able to fish the deep water wrecks with good results plenty of good Pollock on shads also Spur Dogs on baited feather.

August
What can we say about August it was pants wet and windy followed by more wind and ran.I think we put to sea about twice.
Iv started fishing the deeper wrecks that's over 75 meters and have changed my mind about using braided line mono just has to much stretch at that depth and is not very nice to fish with.
At the moment my weapon of choice is a Daiwa Kenzaki 30/50 boat rod with a Daiwa slosh 40 reel loaded with 60lb Power Pro braid with 15 metres of 40lb Stren fluorocarbon leader.Its a good bit of kit and works very well.

Bad Weather
Lately the weather hasn't been up to much although some people think that's my fault.
On the days we have been able to get afloat Dally Bay is producing good Plaice and Thornbacks to
11lb.
Offshore wrecks are producing good Pollock and Tope to 46lb in Loch Ryan.

New online tackle shop
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.
