    Report on-board North Star

    sailed with jim into a flat sea and a good forecast,to the east we ventured hearts full of hope.

    its a canny haul to the preferred fishing area of the day,so a partway stop was welcomed,not to mention the abundant supply of large mackerel present,especially for me as i had left my bait in the freezer!!!
    so was faced with the possibility of scrounging bait!!!

    anyhoo we arrive!!! one of te recent very sucessful catching method has been a hartlepool ripper worked very vigorously and unbaited.
    well i give this a try for 10 minutes i thinks,after that i be too tired, gets a fish after 5mins,i try again 21 fish and several hours later(home time) this jock is kaput.many fish returned many lost too.

    other anglers did not go without either prawn squid makkie all taking fish best fish of the day was 9lb many 4/5/6lbers
    so tired but with hearts full of glee home we went,all anglers happy and skipper tired too after a day on the net.thanks for the day jim
