    Report on-board Deep Blue

    17th January 2025
    Common Dolphins, rods overboard and a bit of fishing happened today….. never a dull moment on DB.
    Wrecking offshore. Full crew. Overcast, not much wind. Falling tides of 6.8m, flooding most of the day.
    Steaming out at nearly 30kts to the shipping lanes with 8 of our regulars on fairly flat seas. I saw a couple of fins off my bow so slowed for a look, only to see a lot more fins start to break the surface and turn towards us. We spent about 5 mins going round in circles playing with a massive pod of Common Dolphins. They were everywhere, the videos don’t do the scale of the pod justice.
    Onto the wrecks…. patchy, but fishy. A few pollack we took off one wreck all had very bad net rash along their flanks (see photos). The wreck in question did have a very snaggy end on the flood, presumably these fish live amongst it as residents.
    Moving across another couple of wrecks saw us with more pollack, as you do. A quick look around at the south of the reef system on the way back in found more fish, a good few table sized pollack, a nice chunky pollack which fell to a new prototype lure - a collaboration with Sidewinder Lures & our good mate The Fish Locker, and a Codling, to keep up our Cod wrangling reputation
