    Report on-board PLAN B

    Saturday 22nd May.
    Took a group of total novices out, what they lacked in skill they made up in enthusiasm. The weather was supposed to be hot but it started off very overcast and gray.
    We went to a secret lower river mark (only 2 boats already on it!) and got on the hounds straight away..all falling to large hermit baits, strangely none took squid. We had about 10 but as the tide sacked off I decided to move off to deeper water to try to get a few skate. No bites at all, so moved into shallows for first of flood and caught about 15 skate, best one 10lb (all returned to play another day) a few more hounds plus dogs taking the fish baits intended for skate.
    Photo's to follow, my camera ran out of memory, only got one picture of a 7lb hound (the best one was 9.5)
