I managed a 1lb Red Gurnard on Fisheagle Saturday
Best fish on Fisheagle.
Myself Small Eyed 9lbs.
Coddy Red Gurnard 1lb.
Dave Lynes Cuckoo 14ozs.
Fishing was slow and hard given the tides. In all, 6 Congers, all straps. 7 Rays, all small. Three types of Gurnard and a nice inshore Smoothound of 10 lbs to Dave who also had a lovely coloured Ballan over 2lbs. A small Turbot of around 2.5 lbs. to myself. Other than that, Dogs, a few Mackerel, a few bits and bobs and various mini species.
Frank Morris has asked me to post that Jan Tryska had a Spotted Ray of 5.5 lbs. Other than that they had very little. By 5.5lbs I meant 5lbs 8 ozs.
The only fish worth reporting on Madness today were blonde rays
Jim = 19lb 12oz I think, Jim will confirm
Martin 16lb12 + 16lb both came up backward which made them bloomin hard work
Ian Simpson Pollack 7lb 8 yesterday
I had a 9lb 4 cod yesterday and a 7lb 8 pollack on Sat
No real big stuff on our trip best of it was:

Alun: 10lb 2oz Pollock and 5lb Cod
Stuie: 15oz Red Gurnard, 7lb 3oz Pollock
Steve: 3lb 8oz Ballan Wrasse, 7lb 3oz Cod.

Firstly:
Thanks Martin for another fantastic day out on Madness.
The weather Gods were smiling too. <img alt=";)" data-emoticon="" height="20" src="/emoticons/default_wink.png" srcset="/emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" title=";)" width="20" /> Flat calm and sunshine. <img alt=":smileys-fish-430558:" data-emoticon="" src="/emoticons/smileys-fish-430558.gif" title=":smileys-fish-430558:" />
Martin had the 2 Blondes very close together and in a strong tide he was " Cream crackered "
They looked a lot bigger than mine on the way up but turned out to be a bit smaller. <img alt=":P" data-emoticon="" height="20" src="/emoticons/default_tongue.png" srcset="/emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x" title=":P" width="20" />

Well done everyone for braving the conditions!
The prize for winning this competition will be presented at next years dinner dance / presentation evening.
Please could you put your fish in the record your catch section - to save me going through each one and trying to work out the specimen sizes
My initial analysis shows that the only 100% specimen fish and therefore the competition winner is
Jan Tryska - Spotted Ray 5lb 8oz - 100% Specimen
good news bad news, endeavour3 put to sea without any scales. That was the bad news, the good news is that we didn't really miss them but had fun trying. Thanks again to Fisheagle and Mike hall who helped me with the stop over.
success, we can add scad plaice and red gurnard to the species comp!
