    Report on-board Duke IV

    As summer progresses the Skate have finished their breeding for the year and they have moved off the breeding ground turning up all over but with numbers caught reduced although some reaching mid double size. They still go for the fish bait but as the herring have moved off they prefer a mackerel chunk. The Smoothounds are here now but not in the numbers we would like but the larger ones make up for the numbers with the rip roaring fight they put up. Most angler's prefer to release them although they are good eating.
    When the sea calms and the water clears the feathers work for the school Bass and Mackerel. Still some dates inc weekends are available. Pic shows Tim wrestling a nice Hound prior to release.
