    Report on-board Mistress

    Today started out a bit shabby with a north westerly swell, despite that it was a nice sunny day. The tides are just beginning to drop too so hopes were running high for a few fish.

    With the breeze at the back of the tide we were drifting quite quickly first thing, but as the tide eased the sea began to flatten and it turned out nice. We took most of our fish from a wreck going into, over and just out of slack water.

    The fishing was a bit slow, but everybody caught fish to take home, we had a mixture of Cod, Ling, Pollock, Mackerel, Whiting and Pouting. The biggest fish onboard was probably only around 10lb in weight so nothing big today.

    The highlight was experiencing a Minky whale swimming around us for around half an hour, Ive never had one as close to the boat as this one. Please see the film clip in the video section
