    Report on-board Mistress

    This morning, there was hardly a breath of wind and when we left the harbour the sea was like a mill pond. The fog began to thicken as we headed for the first wreck. After picking up mackerel for bait, we had a go for a few Cod and picked up a couple of small ones, which were returned for another day. There was some decent size coal fish taken in the same spot. We travelled to some wrecks beyond the 10 mile and found a better stamp of fish. The skipper, Tony, had a good day and pulled up a decent Ling around the 8lb mark, followed by a nice haddock. It's good to see them being landed more frequently. Hopefully, the stocks are starting to make a bit of a recovery in the area. Fred, a regular onboard, caught a decent Pollock, about 5lb. Best bait on the day was mackerel used with hokkais. When the sun did break through the fog, it was roasting onboard. All in all, a good days fishing.

    If you would like to give boat angling a try for the first time, rods are available to hire and tackle can be purchased onboard. Contact the skipper, Tony, for more information. Tight lines.
