    Report on-board Ocean explorer

    The morning started off with a flat sea state as we set off out of the marina , with hardly a breath of wind .
    Stopping at a chosen mark to fill the bait boxes with mackerel,we headed out even further , the very first drop produced a nice Ling for Denis Bray of around 9lb , and a few cod came in , again around the 8-9lb ,as the day got on the wind started to freshen up , and the sea state became choppy , and a little rough ,but this produced some nice fish , and a ling of 19.2oz to David .
    As the afternoon came Lee (skipper ) continued to find the fish, and we were into some good Cod 7-9lb , and Ling into double figures , the fish continued for a couple of hours as we moved around the ground ,by this time the sea was getting a bit on the large side ,and it was getting difficult to hold bottom very well , so we headed back to the marine.
    All in all it was a good days fishing for everyone on board ,and everyone took home fish.
