    Report on-board Deep Blue

    Wednesday 15th January
    A mixed crew to fill the boat around 4 of the fishaholic Species League crew.
    A day out on the banks (with a few wrecks thrown in for good measure) was the request. Greater weaver and gurnards were the intended target.
    Given the success of our last offshore wrecking trip, the other anglers making the numbers up came on board to get amongst the pollack
    It was a different day to that of a few days earlier….
    Flat calm at sea again. 7.1 metre flood tide turning to ebb at midday. No wind forecast. We found a very steady drift of 2.2kts mid lanes on the banks. Almost that bit too quick. We plugged away until the tide started to drop a little, catching weaver, tub & red Gurnards and the other nuisance fish.
    The fishing didn’t really pick up on the sand when the tide started to drop so we made a dash to the first wreck. Another boat was on the first big wreck that I wanted to have a go on, so I chose its smaller neighbour wreck instead. The tide dropped off so quick that we only managed a few drifts before the boat was spinning every way but the right way. A bit of ghost net must be on here as well, due to the fact that when the tide dropped, snags appeared a good number of turns above the wreck.
    Steaming several miles to the second wreck got us there just in time to catch the start of the ebb. Fishing was slow, but there were fish marking so we persevered a little while until we started to get knocks.
    A few pollack for the table to take home followed.
    Back right inshore for the last 20 mins to see if the crew could get some flatties to tick off their lists, but it proved futile in the swamp coloured 6m deep millpond.
    Fish there but not feeding much on this big full moon tide. Not a bad day still.
