First trip of many with Dave and out on Famous for a change.
Very cold day if you didn't get in what Sun there was but, I prefer a cooler day for fishing.
So out the marina for prompt 7am start and onto the ground straight away.
Very slow start with only 3 or 4 small codling coming in over the first 90 minutes.
After this I caught my first fish on the trusted sidewider strippy eel, about 3lb, then I changed over to bait.
Bought some of that Arma-mesh and made some sausages with Bluey, Squid, Mussels, Scallop frills and Mackerel.
It worked very well, got 2 drops out of each sausage and took 2 fish most times, although there were more that went back than kept.
Great fun nonetheless.
I was fishing at the front of the boat so I wasn't really aware of what was being caught, but on the way in everyone had fish, nothing massive, best might have been about 7lb but lots around the 3 to 4 lb.
There had to be around 70 - 80 fish for the day.
I finished with a credible 12 fish, and pleased to say more sized fish went back.
An excellent start to the season and with similar reports coming in from the Northeast, expectations are looking very good.
Till the next time.
