The past week has seen mixed weather with cold winds and low temperatures although despite the conditions good catches were recorded. The majority of catches fell to lures with WSW, Cat's Whisker and Blobs being the preferred options and the fish responding to quick retrieve in the upper water column. C Watt from St Fergus recorded a personal best of 13lb 2oz during his productive trip.
