That was the thinking Oli and myself had in deciding to start 2020 with a quick trip down to Adlington Canal. With hailstones blowing sideways we didn´t last long but taking a small Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow for a swim kick started the year for me. Now, back to BCN and out into the sea…
Has been extremely windy these last few days but I managed to get out this morning. Sea clarity was quite poor and I couldn’t find any Dorado but did manage this stonking Bonito which was too long to fit in the fish box. Gonna eat well tonight…
A pleasure to be out on the boat this morning as September & October really are the nicest months of the year. Found the sea to be alive with Dorado everywhere there was structure, debris, buoys etc.
Sometimes I can catch them…
Sometimes it just doesn´t matter….
In the next month these should almost double in size, from 1.5 to 3kgs. Roll on October…!
One thing in this picture is really cool but it´s not the strange dude in the shades…. Trolling, Summer, Sitges, Tuna.
Weather Gods were seemingly unhappy with my plans for the well anticipated start to the fishing season, a full week chasing Tuna, and threw 40mph winds at us turning the sea into the same consistency and colour as that what we normally see off Blackpool…
Still, there’s always something biting deep in the harbour…
Next weekend must surely be better…
Had a great day at sea yesterday with perfect weather and plenty of fish. One of the first up was the nice, round small Bluefin you see above
Then by lots of fortune, miles offshore, I found a tree…
Was full of life below it and I had several Wreckfish, a new species for me…
Bit best of all 6 really nice Dorado caught spinning a small baitfish lookalike casting lure…
Here are a couple…
I eventually moved on but before coming home took a final drive past and sure enough the rod closest arched over for the biggest of the day…
Had a long day out in the sun today and it was great just to see these small Blue-Fin Tuna smashing into baitfish, flying out of the water, going totally airborne and cartwheeling through the sky.
They are the same age fish we caught earlier in the summer – but when they were much smaller – this is how fast they pack on the pounds and mature.
Underwater they seem to be almost made of metal…
