    Report on-board Deep Blue

    Today trip, Sunday 13th November.

    Similar starting conditions to yesterday, but with a bit more cloud cover and a cooler feel in the air.

    A mixed crew 7 strong. Drifting was the first activity during slack water.
    A couple of nice wrasse, 2 small pollack, a keeper bass and Deep Blue’s third John Dory of the year came up from the glittering (murky) waters of the channel.

    We headed to the skate grounds for mid morning. Anchoring with baits has been more productive for me during the ebb tide all season long. We didn’t have that luxury due to the somewhat awkward tide times, so we attempted to prove my theory incorrect.
    The session started slow, with a few dogfish taking out massive squid/mackerel/worm baits.
    After two of the crew being bitten off by something 25 metres below us, Brian managed to hook into a nice smoothie. Dan followed up with a very healthy Bull Huss. A couple of bonus bass were also boated. Zero, ziltch, not a single ray was found today. Maybe the ebb vs flood theory has some gravitas.

    Lifting the anchor, we headed for this summer’s tried and tested bream grounds. After being told that the bream had all but gone, we found the little spiky sods with ease. Small hooks and the usual squid slivers doing the damage. There were lots, plenty lots. All a decent stamp. One of the crew commented on how productive the bream fishing has been out of Eastbourne this year, comparing it to the Kingmere, which is revered as a bream Mecca.

    Lots of fish, some quiet periods, some busy periods, great fun.
