    Report on-board Discovery

    Wednesday 24th October 2012 -Ray and the lads

    We locked out of the marina and headed up the river to our first mark of the day. We dropped the anchor and got the lads fishing. It didn't take long for the whiting to make an appearance. Shortly after it didn't take ray long to hook and land a 2lb 4 oz cod. Some big whiting we're landed and as slack water approached Keith hooked into and boated a lovely 3lb 8oz cod.

    We decided on a move and began catching plenty more whiting and then with Shaun fishing a bait for congers hooked into a small strap conger of about 3lb. Then with Ray Jnr pulling in whiting he dropped in another fresh bait and hooked and landed a 3lb 15oz cod which took him into the lead for heaviest fish.

    Some of the guys decided to try a bush tucker trial "Discovery" style. With squid eyes and whiting heads the order of the day, Paul was the first to sample the delightful taste of a squid eye. Rolling it around his tongue to get the taste then swallowing it without a second glance. Ray not to be outdone decided that a freshly filleted whiting head would be his next sample. Taking a glance at the head he began to chew on the meat and go for the eyes. Nobody else wanted to try anything else after this so that put an end to it.

    After the guys had a bit of fun more and more whiting were brought in and some dabs. With a the guys happy we called it a day and headed back to the marina for a lock in.
