    Report on-board Duke IV

    The days are drawing in and the Whiting have arrived in numbers, many are small, making good feed for Bass and Cod while the larger ones make a fine meal for us, fried in a light batter.
    A fresh run of Skate will arrive during autumn and stay with us throughout the winter, they can be caught on herring that will also start showing soon. The Hounds are moving offshore now and will take crab bait as they leave.
    A recent visit to the wrecks proved tough with a northerly wind making fishing difficult although some nice Cod and Pollack were landed by Harry and Phil. With continuing good weather trips offshore can prove worthwhile with Cod stopping off on the wrecks as they come inshore for the winter.
    Mackerel fishing remains excellent with some real beefy fish feasting on the sandeels, great for the bbq.
    Looking forward, the fishing should remain busy with lots of Whiting along with Cod, Skate and Dabs and of course the ever present Doggies.
