    Report on-board Lady Grace

    Another lovely day out of the water. Started today off with a bird watching trip this morning, saw lots of dunlin, blacktailed and bartailed Godwits, Curlew, Redshank and loads of Grebe and dabchicks out on the water too. Then we stumbled across an extremely tame or maybe just a very photogenic Cormorant that wasn't phased by use circling the mooring it was perched on. This afternoon I headed out with Robbie and his Step son Michael who hadn't been fishing before and at 11yrs old he was dying to give it ago. We anchored up and within 10 minutes Robbie had a decent fish on, unfortunately he was too keen and struck too early so lost it. Michael started catching his first whiting and then just after high water he hooked into his first codling. He is a quick learner, he soon got yhe hang of it and left his step dad on zero cod for the rest of the afternoon until on that very last cast when Robbie reeled his last rod in and caught a codling too. He was pleased he'd levelled with Michael. Although Michaels was bigger and he had caught a lovely whiting for his tea too! An enjoyable day had by all.
