    Report on-board Duke IV

    The rain is pouring down outside as I write, with todays trip cancelled. Yesterday though the weather was better and the Mackerel came in thick and fast. A few Skate inshore with a good chance of a large female on the cards.
    Smoothounds will be heading out of the estuary on their migration back to deeper waters and we look to catching a few on squid or crab baits. Great fighting fish they are too having packed on the weight feeding on crab following breeding. Bass will also be heading back to deep water, with plenty passing Ramsgate. The Whiting are arriving now giving us lots of fish but not as large as some prefer, think of the small ones as fodder for the Bass and Cod so usefull in fattening up the better fish. Lots of small Codling through the summer so hoping for some a return of these fish in the 3-5lb range later in the year. Check out the the Lobsters we landed while backed up to a wreck last week, you never know what could come up next, such the magic of seafishing!
