went with Rich yesterday on his arvor. Due to the very good forcast we decided to try some new wrecks. Tried everymethod going but despite the sounder showing fish on the wrecks were unable to tempt more than 2 ling one around 6lb for rich and one of 9.5lb for me. A hard day but most enjoyable - talking to others in the lock etc they all seemed to struggle yesterday. Found the mackeral out past the 4 mile mark and the water was pretty mucky up until this point.

thanks rich for a great day unfortunately you forgot to invite mr fish.LOL

we were out yesterday too, did much the same thing , nice flat seas so off to plot a couple of new wrecks , nothing much in the way of fish but we enjoyed our 12 hours out at sea .
We did find one new wreck which looks really promising , I'm starting to build up a few choices in my plotter , soon I'll be able to head out with a reasonable idea of where I'm going instead of through the piers and then wondering which way to go lol.
On the way back in we passed a huge gang? flock? crowd? what's the name for lots of seals? , anyway there must have been 100 or more seals and some dolphins too , all in one small area of sea with gannets and other seagulls flocking above them , they were obviously into more fish than we had seen all day , but what were they feeding on?

Today marked the last wrecking trip day for myself of 2008, rough ground time now.
