    Report on-board Sunbeam III

    Mon 25th June- full day- 9 Customers- left the quay at A very social time of 11:30 out on the hunt for Tope, we made the decision to move to a different mark that fished well last year..... We made the right decision! Arrived at the mark and anchored up - got the customers catching some mackerel whilst Tope rods went in- before we knew it we had some really good runs and within 20 minutes first Tope of the day landed- unfortunately lost one after a run whilst landing the first... After this point we did not stop until a lot later - all in all 13 Tope landed and all really nice fish- some with a lot more fight than others - especially the one that had caught up the line round it's tail and then shook itself free and decided it wanted to fight 20 foot away from the boat - also 200 mackerel landed really big too the top size was 16 inches! 2 Allis shads also - nice to see -what a great day- lovely weather lovely flat calm seas and really good fun with a great bunch of customers! Can't wait till the next Tope trip at the weekend :) -pics to follow.
