    Report on-board M.V.Kailee

    Headed out for the turbot at 7.30am weather was snow and light winds 2/3 had a few guys who had never caught this species before so wanted to give them a day to remember.
    we arrived at the grounds all ready with a variety of rods and reels using flowing traces with 5" silver spoons with coloured beads and size 5/0 hook baited with mackrel and squid.
    the first bite was a good fish weighing in at 9LB turbot fine small fish for a start but they got bigger as the day went on and Tommy Tyler caught a 23.5LB

    The snow showers continued and the wind stayed light with fishing just got better and better the fish was coming aboard and the guys that hadn't caught the fish before were all enjoying a day to remember as they all caught a decent Turbot. The fish was coming aboad thick and fast a few personal bests for most of the guys
    Charlie Hunter from Ocean Tackle Store in lerwick was delighted with his catch.
    the biggest catch of the day was Ken Graham from Lerwick with his 24.9LB Turbot a personal best for ken and the first time for this species a excellent day and the weather held out until we headed back in at 5.30pm.
