    Report on-board Rocket

    Fishing during May has seen good catches of Bream and also a variety of rays. Venturing offshore,Rocket has returned with some fine pollack @ 16lbs and Cod @ 18lb from the famed brittle star grounds. We are looking forward to June ,when we focus on huge hauls of Cod and Pollack from wrecks and reefs mid channel. Anyone that fishes with us will know that our wish is a 100lb Conger eel. We have come close with an 87lb,just another 13lb and its in the bag! Lets hope 2011 is the year.
    ps We have just had contact with the first shark of the year. Whilst drifting a wreck,Tim Lewis from Birmingham hooked a Cod and whilst reeling in became a Porbeagle victim leaving only the head as a souvenir...bad luck

    Kind regards Trevor
