    Report on-board Kestrel warrior 6

    So today I had Tony and the gang onboard and I have to say it was an extremely hard days fishing.
    Firstly, we was ment to catch smoothies but ended going on a species hunt ����
    We started off the day heading west in search of smoothies, but when we got to the first mark it was made apparent that the wind would quickly be the death of the smoothound trip. We weren't able to get a straight line at anchor. Infact we sat beam on to the sea witch made fishing impossible. After the first hour we did manage a couple of species, dabs /dogs, gurnard and mackerel. It soon died so we decided to go abit futher out hoping that the tide would push us round. How I was so wrong!
    As we got offshore we put the anchor down next to a wreck. We managed some pout Pollock and weaver fish off the wreck and then decided to come back in to see if we could catch some bream. This was worse off then where we was at anchor, Moving back to our original spot to catch bugger all. After sitting in nearly 2mtr swells all day I said to the lads we would try for some plaice close to shore. we headed to the break water for some cover but with no joy just sitting meters from the Habour entrance with no where to hide. We cut the trip short and headed for home. 7 species isn't bad I suppose, but it was such hard work. There's always a next time.
