    Chalk and cheese today on board with quite possibly the busiest day in a while again ray galore with some big rays caught at our first mark with the biggest fish of the day caught 10lb 2. We also got plenty of really good size whiting, dabs, and doggies.
    The anglers wanted a move so off we went to the next Mark to catch more rays,flatties and whiting. To my excitement my rod bent and the line tightened as soon as I caught up to the lead and I felt the fish knock I knew i had a cod on, to my delight I hauled in a 8lb cod.

    Today's trip was a bit touch and go with the high winds but they stayed low enough for us to go out again today.
    We headed out of the river and started really slowly compared to yesterday's trip. As usual we started getting doggies galore, tope pups,a solitary mackerel,rays,tub gurnard,really good sized plaice,and dabs. Mother Nature then decided we should move bringing much higher seas and swell. A move was decided so into the river we headed for some shelter. Doggies in the river followed by decent whiting and 5-9lb rays and the biggest flounder I have seen on wave Dancer. The piece des resistance a really good 4.5lb cod. Fish of the day was another 9lb thornback ray.

    Another fun day on board wave dancer today. Several firsts for the anglers today, Gary caught his first bull bus and it was also the biggest fish he has ever caught 10lb 6. Lots of mackerel was caught also several first. Young Lewis caught his first tub gurnard. Lewis was after his first ray so we took a move to look for rays. At the next spot we got into the usual doggies some decent sized bull Huss and Lewis managed to snag his first ray. The skipper called the day with first and most fish in the bag. Gaz had won biggest with his 10lb 6 bull Huss from earlier, as I was readying the boat for our return the skipper shouted for the net, his ugly stick was bent over, eventually we netted yet another bull Huss. Once we had untangled him we weighed him would you believe it 10lb 6 to nearly take the clean sweep.Great day, great weather, and great fishing.

    Probably the most hectic trip yet 10 people for poker and fishing. A strange mix but oddly it worked if not a bit cramped. Just a short 4 hour trip but it was action packed. No sooner had the chips been shared out for the start of the tournament the first fish was being reeled in. A decent doggie was landed, followed by a decent ray caught by Kyle. Once we had settled down the poker was started, however before the first hand was played another ray was landed by the other Kyle. At the end of the trip we had hauled in 8 rays of varying sizes and 2 decent doggies. Fish were caught and money was won all had a great day and went home happy.
