    Report on-board Mistress

    I had a party of novices booked today, with only a couple of them having fished before. seeing as we did so well yesterday, I headed back to the same mark. It was a bit lumpy on the way out with a fairly large, long, rolling ground swell, and it was forecast to grow through the day. Well we settled in at anchor again and caught the last of the ebb tide. It was the same as yesterday, we were straight into bites and fish! everybody was catching! the conditions were no where near as nice though, we had rain and it was a bit colder too. One of the lads Tom, who had fished before soon started showing the rest of the party how to go on, he managed a couple of double shots of cod on the same line! there is a huge amount of fish showing on the uptiding grounds this year.
    the tide eased and I thought the bites would dry up with it, but the lads & lasses kept a steady stream of fish coming over the gunnels. as the tide began flooding I repositioned the boat and we got a fast flurry of better fish, within around ten minutes we had a further 6 or 7 fish aboard. The crew finally had had enough with the poor conditions and were wet through from the rain and decided on an early finish. Again we had a great day out with plenty of fish.
