    Report on-board Mistress

    Today we had a mixed party of lads, some novices thrown into the group too.

    we started out ta the bell bouy jigging mackerel for bait, seeing as we're on neap tides again wrecking was the order of the day. Plenty of mackerel about so two drifts saw us with enough bait to get started.

    We were rifting quite quickly to start with so fishing was slow, as soon as the drift slowed a point or two of a knot the fish came on to feed!
    The fishing wasnt hectic today, but we saw some nice fish non the less.
    the biggest Ling was 15lb, Cod to 10lb. we had a number of Ling over 10lb again today.

    We had a young novice, Peter, with us today he caught a couple of really nice fish to take hoem the best being a Ling around 7lb in weight, dad was pleased as punch, its always good to see the youngsters getting amoungst the fish! well done mate.
