    Report on-board Brigand

    So ……. another fantastic crew and another day of Bass chaos, monster mackerel and multiple hook-ups!
    Today was slated as a Turbot trip but I gave the chaps a heads up to be prepared to alter plans. A short pow-wow in the morning, tank full of fuel and a football match to get back for the decision was unanimous - gun it out for the Bass.
    Most anglers will never have experienced fishing like this and I was delighted that a consensus was reached so quickly.
    Hit the mark bang on time, set the boat up for the drift and we we’re off straight away - 14 good fish on the first drift in a little under 10 minutes …. And that was just the start! Tally for the the day, 72 keeper sized Bass in a little over 90 minutes! Some anglers wanted bigger fish, some returned those over 5lbs, it’s a personal choice and the crew were very responsible in handling fish to be returned…. Well done guys.
    Once Bass quota was reached we turned to those
    Monster mackerel and we’re not disappointed - again more fish around the 2lb mark and lots of medium sized fish around 1 1/2lb and once again gratifying that the crew only wanted to keep 2-3 each when they could have taken dozens.
    Our day was almost done but just enough time to boat a couple of Turbot to round off another outstanding day.
    Thanks all for an excellent day at sea, if the England football guys perform as well as you did today we will be in for a treat��
    Best wishes
