With Bert on his hols it was just Paul, Stephen and myself this morning, we set off about 5.30am.
I was skipper (off the moorings and to the pier end ) then Stephen took the wheel, we tried the usual inshore wrecks but not a lot was coming in so we headed out to deeper water. As Norman posted, the wrecks were hungry for tackle today but we plugged away and by 8am we had a dozen or so canny cod.
We weren't especially targeting mackerel but we only managed one, strange for mid June. A shame as one wreck fished well with Paul's frozen fillets mixed with squid and we picked a few ling up as well.
As I hadn't slept well, stressing with will the boat run okay etc, something I don't do when the skipper's there, I was knackered by 11.30am so we headed in.
Total for the day 28 cod and 3 ling, biggest about 8lb.
Cheers lads.
