    Report on-board Duke IV

    The wind and rain are thrashing away at the windows as I write this report! I am supposed to be out with a party but hey that's the weather for you!
    The fishing has been hectic when we have got out with plenty of Whiting, Dogs, pout and a few Skate! The Cod though have been a bit thin on the ground so far this winter, this is not good when we all want to catch lots of biguns. I think things are running late this year and any time now the Cod will arrive and we will wonder what the problem was. The Whiting are good and fat, coughing up crab, shrimp and spratts so there's plenty of bait out there for them!
    The beach anglers seem to be getting a similar result, plenty of Whiting, with a few Cod!
    We get an influx of Skate at this time of year and they seem to have arrived, as we are catching a few fish on the banks!
    When this weather settles we can get out a bit further and hopefully the Cod fishing will improve, so plenty of lug and squid the order of the day with a couple of herrings for the Skate!
    Plenty of dates available on Duke IV throughout December so get those Cod rods out and come on down!
