Report on-board Kelley's Hero Charters
Well that was a shock to the system, no not the freezing cold weather, the fact that Kelley’s Hero made it to sea two days in a row. And what a lovely two days of weather we had despite having to deice the boat in the mornings, with this view and the fish it was worth
Tuesday saw us leaving the marina with The Southsea Marina Disabled Angling Club, ready for there day cod fishing. They had been trying to get out for over a month but due to the weather it kept getting cancelled. It started off a bit chilly, with a bit of a swell. But we soon forgot about all that once the first cod came aboard. It was around 7lb. Throughout the day we had plenty of nice sized whiting, pout and 2 more cod upto 9lb. All in all we all had a great day and a good laugh. We can’t wait to get the club back aboard Kelley’s Hero in the future.
On Wednesday, the weather had calmed down to not much wind and a little bit of a chill. Kelley’s Hero headed out for the first wrecking trip of the season. We had 6 good anglers on board all eager to see what the day had in store for us. There wasn’t tonnes of pollack, but just enough to keep us busy and warm. The biggest fish of the day was caught by Matt, and weighed 12lb. John got a nice surprise when he reeled in a nice Tub gurnard, there many caught throughout the day, but his was the biggest. Now, what is the last thing you expect to see in January in the freezing cold?! Well we caught a Mackerel, just one though, yes we were all shocked too. My overall thought on our first wrecking trip of the season, is that if we leave it a few weeks yet the fishing will come on a bit more, but it was nice see a few pollack starting to show already.
If you would like to book a day aboard Kelley’s Hero, whether it is inshore or offshore please feel free to contact me.
