had another little trip out today from h'pool with 2 mates , but there was quite a swell running so after an hour on the 3 mile hard ground with only one small codling I moved into shallow water. We ended up with about 7 keepers with my biggest at 6lb and the rest around 2lb mark. not great but better than blanking.

yes but not looking good for next week. Also boarded by fisheries protection yesterday. just to say hello. So skippers beware of keeping u/sized fish even for bait.

I was chatting to a few of the lads (and lasses) who do this work the other week whilst I was working. They recently recruited a few new officers around our area and they are doing training which involves them getting some hands on experience of this kind.
