Report on-board Lady Grace
We headed out at 9am this morning to fish up to high water, it was a lovely still morning and I had aboard 2 couples that wanted to try their luck at their fishing. It started off a little quite with only Alan getting whiting bites but not much luck getting them in the boat, then Christine caught a nice whiting around 1.5lb, then once Christine had showed Alan how to do it he caught another whiting around the same size. Margaret, Alans wife, then told us that Alan had the lucky rod in the lucky spot on the boat so they swaped places and with that Margaret caught the first skate of the day which Alan was not best pleased he had given her his rod and place on the boat then. Margarets skate weighed in at 6.2lb. It was time to head home so they decided to give it another hour before heading in as they caught their first skate and were hoping for more action. Alan and Margaret then swaped places on the boat again where Alan then had a skate on around 4.5lb which we let go and Colin who felt unwell towards the end of the trip then caught the last skate around 5lb which took his mind off the sea sickness for a while. All 3 skate were males, they kept 2 for their dinner. A lovely day had by all.

We went to have a look at the Cod again but no cody was at home.We needed to do something once we had committed to the run off.It wasn't looking to spectacular at one stage but eventually we got it right.
Not another boat in sight and we managed to put something resembling a trip together and eventually Bagging some nice ones.
Well done to the guy's today for perservering when the chins could of fallen and you could of given up. View Boats Page
