    Report on-board Spot On!

    The four of us travel from Poole each year for two or three wrecking trips on Spot On. The Monday wrecking trip was very successful with the four of us catching a total of 30 pollack, but no other species. The Tuesday trip was blown off, so we went fly fishing instead. The Wednesday trip was eagerly anticipated so the four of us confirmed our standard £5 bet of the first to get a Triple Crown. The triple crown is achieved by catching three species from cod, pollack, bass, coal fish, ling, John Dory and Angler fish. We usually have a £10 bet for a Grand Slam, which is four fish from the seven species, all caught on the same trip, but we all failed to confirm this bet.
    Ross first tried the three closest wrecks and I got a ling on the first drift. We didn't stay long and soon moved to the second wreck where I caught a bass, again on the first drift. Nothing on the third drift so we moved to the mid channel wrecks where I caught a pollack on the third drift and happily took £5 each from my three colleagues. We moved to a second mid channel wreck where I caught a cod. For the first time in twelve years of fishing in Dorset and Devon I has competed our aptly named Grand Slam. I thank Ross for the opportunity to do this along with my three mates for their £15 contribution to my beer fund.
    PS - on the Monday trip on of the anglers caught a coal fish, but alas no JDs or angler fish.
