The Big Bang

Bad news disaster has struck Divas engine.Whilst cruising up Loch Ryan there was a big bang and to my horror the front crankshaft pully was laying in the bilge.
The crankshaft had snapped just behind the front pully.

This had to happen at the busiest time of the year.We will keep you posted when the repair is underway.

Just to make me feel even worst the fishing has been brilliant with very large Tope,Bull Huss and Pollock to name a few.

Good Weather

Sorry about not keeping the blog up to date .Iv been at sea every day for the last six or more weeks.
I must be the only charter skipper praying for bad weather so i can have a few days off.

I will update as soon as the weather changes.

April

April has been a good month with not much wind able to get afloat most days.

Large shoals of Herring are in abundance as well as Codling feeding on the Herring we had same good catches of Codling to 5lb.

Loch Ryan
Dogs, Whiting and Coalfish at Finnarts Bay

Milleur Point
We had two Mackeral on Friday 30th-well its a start.

Inshore wrecks
Fishing well mostly Pollock Coalfish and Codling.

Offshore wrecks
Are fishing a bit slow at the moment.

March

Bad news Diva spent the whole of March tied to her moorings due to bad weather and that ment no fishing.
April has started well but i will tell about that next month.

February

Although its been the worst winter for 30 years February has been good with not to much wind but cold.
Fishing has been good inshore wrecks have been producing Coalfish Pollock, Codling and very large Whiting.
Some offshore wrecks are full of fish.This time we played the waiting game it was over 4 hours before the fish came on the feed and when they did the fishing was awesome.
The best Cod went 11lb 3oz best Pollock 8lb 5oz and best Coalfish 6lb 9oz.
The only regret is that my camera a Sony Cyber-Shot will not work in cold weather yet it works fine indoors?
