    Report on-board Discovery

    Friday 13th July

    Black Horse Fishing Club

    Today we had a group of guys from the Black Horse Fishing Club. With the wind forecast to drop we locked out and headed up the Mersey. As we entered the Rock Channel, their was a slight swell. The guys had decided to go offshore. We got to our first mark and started to fish. Mackeral started coming in thick and fast. We moved to another mark and carried on fishing. Even more mackeral and some Pollack were brought aboard. The conditions had got worse instead of getting better, so the guys decided to go for Smoothound and Bass. We made our way back in and dropped the anchor. Whilst most of the guys were baiting up, Shaun had already cast out waiting for his first bite, which seemed to be straight away. The first bite didnt produce but the second cast out and he had hooked into a nice Smoothie. Getting it into the net and bringing it aboard, weighing in at 13lb. After this everybody on the boat seemed to be landing them one after the other. To add to the mix, Dabs, Weavers and Doggies were brought aboard, aswell as more mackeral. The total Smoothie count for the was 36 to 13lb. The weather conditions were not good with a constant driving rain all day that soaked everybody. Shauns brother stuck it out in his shorts and wellies, while everyone else took shelter under the canopy.

    Some nice fish brought in by a great group of guys.
