    Report on-board Skylark

    Best 6 hour fishing trip we have had all year so far, nothing huge caught but plenty of cod about still.
    We only had 3 customers today so I managed to have a fish aswell today.

    We decided to fish inshore again and we had fish on from the first drop with all four of us bringing fish after fish in every drop. After a few minutes we decided to return all lip hooked fish regardless of size or any other fish that would survive as the fishing was that frantic.

    In total we lost count at about a hundred between the four of us with all of us catching 25+ each.

    The fish seamed to be going for anything we dropped down including squid mackerel, shads. Feathers etc.we even managed to get plenty of codlings on the very light gear (5g to 35g rods with 8lb braid, great fun on light gear).

    Great to see so many cod and Codlings about.

    During the last two hours we started getting board of catching just cod so we ventured out to 6 mile and gave the wrecks a try, we had a few nibbles but unfortunately no fish out there as yet, hopefully in a few weeks this will change.

    The photo of the fish on the engine box were all the fish which were deeply hooked which unfortunatly wouldn't have had much change of survival.

    Great day out with great company with Dave, Steve and Mel.
