    Report on-board Ocean explorer

    We set out from the marina at 4.40am and headed out to the ground , by 5.30 pm there were lots of cod coming aboard from the first drop, after the first drift we had landed over 12 cod , Lee with a 12lb cod and myself with a nice pair of cod of around 7lb each.
    Mackerel were really thick to get through at times , but were a fare size non the least .
    The lads from Nottingham started off really well ,and continued to do so with lots of mackerel coming aboard in there droves,and even more cod being taken on shads.
    John from West Auckland had a really productive day with lots of good size cod from 6lb to around 12lb mark
    We continued to drift over our ground taking even more cod .
    By the afternoon the wind had started to pick up and the sea became a bit choppy,and we were pushed along by the wind to cover even more ground............... with even more fish being caught
    A tremendous day was had by all , and everyone went home with good sized fish.
    Definitely one of my better days with Wandering Star and skipper Lee.
