Well all week we have been told a heat wave was comming an with a quick look at the weather mainly the wind mapping it was going to be a good day at sea regardless if we catch anything for a change.
Planned 6.30am to leave the marina with 2 mates today and head to a host of wrecks not far off but a canny trek from home base, once we reached the piers it felt like summer....jumper off, birds diving and mackerel being wound in by boats we passed...perfect
We hit our first wreck and within 2 jigs we had our first 2 cod onboard and a nice stamp around the 5-6lb mark.
We kept working our way out taken fish of just about every wreck we stopped at.
Spotted Slinky Kate on a wreck that we had planned to fish on our half way journy and with thumbs up from Norman we soon dug into fish taken about 7-8 from that wreck including the best two of the day just touching 12lb
We kept on moving and the furthest wreck from home....well this pic will say it all
Took about 40 fish from with most ling 6-8lb and cod 3-9lb...this then went dead and to be honest we dont often keep fish only 1-2 each but had a few orders today so kept about 2/3rds early on.
We started our move back home and every wreck we took a further 2-3 fish from....we really did have a bag of fish today and we never took pic's of the end result or took the fish out the full fish well as we may of been called a trawler today
Cracking day weather, fantastic day fishing and all round happy time.
Roll on Sunday morning
