Boat anglers are enjoying great sport off Ilfracombe as tope move following the arrival of mackerel.

Toby Bassett and his father Rex Bassett enjoyed an amazing evening out on their boat , “we bagged up on a few dozen mackerel nice and quick ,then handed out a little way and started the tope fishing ..only 2 caught mine going about 15lb so no need to weigh it then after a little wait dad’s rod screamed off and a lovely conditioned 50lb fish graced the deck she behaved very well and swam off nice and strong new boat p.b and dad’s p.b! Bring on the next trip!
