Sea Otter 2 – How Different Two Days Can Be

Sea Otter 2 — 10 March 2010

Ive always said, that in fishing no 2 days are ever the same. Yesterday saw us run off only 5 miles where we fished the wrecks and hard ground. The water had cleared out lovely and the fish were playing ball and being more than willing to take unbaited shads. Today we went back to the same area and the slight swell (Unpredicted by magic seaweed) had coloured up the water and the fish had gone off the boil. In the end we had to head out onto the 20 mile ground to find the fish with baits, and this time non on shads.

Anyway Yesterday had been a success and it lifted my spirits for the forthcoming months with clear signs that all we need is some good weather for the fish to start to come out to play. Yesterday I had Richard and his colleagues on. The lads all left with a decent few fish each which mostly fell to the shad.

Richard had 4 drops and got 4 fish on the shad.

Paul.
