    Report on-board JFK TWO

    had a crackin day out today. flat calm seas warm and sunny.cleared the tyne peirs for 7.45am. headed to the first wreck in hope of mackrel, [normally in by now but slightly late this season]. imediaterly a couple of rods double over into fish. however it was obvious from the bend and pulling motion these were bigger than macrkel, sure enougth two plump cod at 3 and 4 pounds lay on the deck. perfect white bellied cod. [nice clesn run cod]
    another pass and another couple of simalar cod.then one lone mackrel. the first this season. and as it happens the only mackrel of the day. set off to the next wreck. again a fish or two almost every drift with cod and ling to about 7lbs.
    a steady stream of fish coming over the gunnel.this pattern of fishing continued as we worked our way steaderly offshore. with a cod of 14.5lbs coming aboard several ling into double figures. then over the slack water a lovely ling of 16.5lbs followed quickly by a pollack of 10lbs both to the same lucky angler. all in all a crackin day afloat just the 1.5 hours steam home and to do it all again tommorrow are well??
