Today (Sunday) off to an encouraging start with 3 boats fishing by 08:00am but we have expericenced a much quieter week. Are we beginning to compete with Mr Claus for our anglers attention?
However, some good catches were recorded, in particular by K Reid, Gardenstown who netted a bag of 18 fish of which 7 were in the 5-7lb range. Well done! Other notable catches fell to brothers A and M MacPherson from Lhanbryde who netted a total of 21 fish for their session with 3.5-4lb fish in the catch and Neil Thomson from Macduff who landed a total of 8 fish including a nice 10.5lb specimen.
The fish were lying deeper this week and most recorded catches were at 4-6ft down with several coming from the bottom. Most fish this week fell to the bloodworm fished slowly whilst the Cormorant, W.S.W and Nomad fished with a moderate retrieve was quite successful.
