    Report on-board Sunbeam III

    Sun 07/07- what a glorious weekend so far- beautiful day yesterday and Sunday morning was even hotter, had 5 customers today for the full day and left the quay at around 8:45 went and picked up a few mackerel for bait before anchoring up, then got settled in and tope rods out, we weren't waiting long before we had our first run so whilst everyone getting excited a second one decides to go, so we have two fish on at once (again) they're testing us this year I think :) anyway both we're landed nice fish too and bigger than yesterday's both at the 35-40 lb mark which is great to see and good fun to land.... So after sorting the rods out the kettle goes on and the rods go again, 2 at once! The first tope gets to the boat and shakes its head quite a lot and snaps the line which is a real shame but the fella got a good fight of it and got to see his fish, the other one on also got away which is annoying but hey that's fishing, 2 more tope followed soon after again good size fish... All in all happy customers a beautiful hot calm day- couldn't have asked for more - onto the tide trip with 4 customers and found some lovely mackerel 27 in total so they're about now .... Really great day yesterday with nice customers and lots of fish hope to see them again .... Lets hope this weather stays!
