    Report on-board Duke IV

    This mild weather must be confusing the fish as much as the birds. Still a few hounds about along with Skate and Whiting. The Cod have arrived with a few fish being caught inshore already.
    The herring shoals are begining to show now so they will make a good bait for the Skate, the Whiting also like a strip of herring or mackerel. Still some large Bass around so worth persevering with a small livebait. Lug and squid cocktail will still be the bait for Cod or if getting too many dogs try a whole squid or two, make sure the hook point is showing to avoid missing the bites.
    Good Skate fishing today for the crew with Amy landing the best one just under 9lb on mackerel bait while Lee landed 3 to 6lb on lug/squid cocktail. Mario from Bexhill landing a 5lb'er on Squid. Also some good whiting falling to fish baits.
    Good prospects ahead for this winter with plenty of Skate to herring and hopefully some good Cod to squid. Just call me to come fishing aboard Duke IV and join in this fish fest!
