End July – back to normal

July 25th, 2007

Fishing in latter half of July has returned to normal. Fairly good fishing at the Limeburner with the usual species, Grey,Red &Tub Gurnards, Haddock, Cod, Whiting, Spurdog, LSD etc. (few Haddock, Cod & Whiting but some). Mackeral are now abundant and water temp is 14.5 – 15 Centigrade.
Blue Shark still have not shown – another Charter boat spent 1 day looking.
Tope are inconsistent – some days 4 runs and others 20 or 30 runs.
Rays are good and flatfish also. Wrecks fishing well although no more Torsk. No Scad so far – last year there were a few around even in June.
The Rosguill boated its first Common Skate of 2007 – Female of 144 pounds – lost another run on same day.
