    Report on-board Brigand

    2 day fishing report for this week, both challenging days on the weather front!

    Monday - we welcomed Clint and his fabulous crew from Essex aboard for a spot of wrecking. We have had some fantastic wrecking trips this year filling the boxes with high quality fish .... it wasn't like that on Monday! With a stiff Northerly looking like it was fading throughout the day we pushed out pretty far to a group of wrecks where we have had excellent fishing the last few trips ....and we struggled. Worked a number of wrecks before heading down the coast with just a few fish onboard. Clint & co. Toiled away and as the sea calmed we finally hit a wreck with a good head of fish and were in business.
    A below par day on the fish front, a wonderful day on the crew front. Sorry you guys had to work away all day and that you didn't get the bounty that previous trips have had, hope you all got back safely and look forward to seeing you in the Summer.

    Today - it was time to have a proper go at the Bream and we had just the people to do that! Again a challenging day for shallow water fishing with light gear with a stiffer than anticipated SW wind. Tough getting the anchor to hold with the bow bucking around on the flood but when it hooked up (12x scope out!) we settled down the guys were into good fish from the off..... what a relief! That remained the case for the whole of the tide but when the ebb kicked in it was always going to be a challenge holding the boat into the wind. Short drifting individual marks meant we continued to land fish right up until the end of the day with a respectable tally of 87.
    Again, a fantastic crew today who never lost focus and fished extremely well in difficult conditions - well done all ����.

    Long range forecast looks like we finally have a settled period heading our way - what a treat that will be after what feels like a relentless bashing!

    Best wishes
