    Report on-board Lady Grace

    I went out for just over a hour on my own in the River this morning bright and early for the first of the flood. After about 15minutes I was into a decent fish, putting up a great fight, I knew it was a cod but you can never tell how big it is until you see it as they all put up a great fight and are such fun to catch. As it got towards the surface I could see it was well hooked so I lifted it into the boat. My dad had just come out into the River and spotted me anchored up so came over to catch a glimpse of my 6.2lb cod and decided he wanted some of the action so tied his boat to my stern. After a short while we started to drift from the weight of 2 boats on one anchor so dad anchored up just beside me. We then had another boat decide to come and uptide me so the action died and I just caught a few whiting before heading in to do some work and start my boat trips. Definately worth getting up early for!
