    Report on-board Mistress

    Another fantastic day to be at sea again, quite getting used to this summer weather!

    We started the morning shad fishing around a wreck mark today, the tide was still belting through giving us a drift speed of around 1.8 knots. but we were still picking up codlings each drift.

    As the tide eased we changed tactics to bait, full fillets of mackerel on heavy traces for Ling and any other big fish lurking down there!

    The ling played ball, with us boating quite a few around the 7lb-10lb mark.
    The biggest Ling went 15lb for 15 year old Ryan.
    Mistress Regular Mark baited up with a Mackerel Flapper just as the tide got away and bagged a belting 18lb Cod.

    Everyone onboard had a great day bagging plenty of fish for the table.
