    Report on-board Deep Blue

    Well that’s a wrap!!!

    The impending foul weather brings the Easter Bank holiday weekend’s fishing to an abrupt close. It’s been a great weekend to be fair, and getting out for 3/4 of the time is pretty lucky going off tales from years gone by.

    Today, Easter Sunday saw a family group book the boat for a mixed fishing day. Only the grandad had ever properly fished before, and that was only on lakes in Moldova, so being single handed I thought I could be in for a busy day. I was.

    The day started off slowly, which came as a massive shock considering the marks my sounder was picking up.
    The seabed was literally undulating with fish in pockets. Using a mixture of rigs/lures, and with massively differing techniques, my crew of newbies just couldn’t tempt the fish to bite.

    When the first fish finally succumbed to a hook if fell to six year old Sebastian. He was so chuffed with his prize, as you can see, and that is what it’s all about.

    We started picking up more fish, all of which were under sized. We headed to another mark to drift some different rocks and broken ground (at Sebastian’s request), but after everyone got tangled, and snagged, on the first drift, I suggested that maybe going back to plan A would be wise.

    As their experience grew, more and more fish were caught. Considering today was Deep Blue’s first Bass of the season day, and the gazillion tangles, and lost lures, and weights, it was a pretty good da with a group I’m certain will return.

    ��All the crew were using our newly serviced and fantastic Penn Fathom and Squall reels, and the full carbon Penn Prevail 2 rods.
    4” & 6” Sidewinder skerries and sandeels in blues and whites doing the damage.��
