JSYK - Just so you know

Just recently a surprising number of octopus have been found on local beaches. This sits alongside the fact that last summer we caught loads of them. Are we being invaded? One thing is for sure there is more around and they are always a welcome catch. Unlike the Continentals we put them back, they are such amazing creatures and releasing them seems the best way. So will next summer prove the same when it comes to octopus catching? There is only one way to find out – come and have a go!

The bay was alive with dolphins last week. It is always great to see them – as we do on most of our fishing trips – but they are also a wonderful indicator species. What do we mean by that? Well, if they are here then there must be fish here too. In high summer they can give away the presence of mackerel and it is common for us to drive towards them to try and catch fish. No mackerel at the moment but imagine all those cod that they are munching on now. Shall we go cod fishing?
