    Report on-board Seabreez3

    Fishing report – Friday 8th February 2013

    A group of hopeful anglers arrived at Brighton Marina at just gone 7am having had ample time to stop off at the ’golden arches’ for some breakfast, all keen for a day aboard Sea Breeze 3.
    It was borderline as to whether we would get out wrecking for Pollack with winds gusting to 15 knots predicted from the offshore forecasts. Whilst I would like to think that I persuaded skipper Terry Lee to take a chance, deep down I knew that as always he would make the right decision having changed the type of fishing on a previous trip. That time, wrecking for cod became a day’s breaming at anchor where we experienced a fantastic day of non-stop action with up to 80 Bream of a good size coming over the side during the day.
    But, back to the day in question, as we steamed some 18 miles offshore, talk turned to tackle as permanent deckhand Jay started preparing the rods. French booms with 10 ounce weights and 7 inch Sidewinders seemed to be the order of the day with a mixture of red, orange and rhubarb & custard lures on show.
    A few of us had bought our own rods and tackle and similarly rigged up. As I looked across I saw good pal Phil’s rod and gazed up towards the tip. I looked up and up and up and eventually realised he’d brought his 12ft beachcaster by accident!!! This was an opportunity we all couldn’t miss and a chorus of ‘there’s only one Phil Nutkins’ echoed across the deck but little did we know it was the rest of us who would be left with egg on our faces as on the first drift Phil hooked into a 14lb 2oz Pollack which would prove to be the largest catch of the day.
    Subsequent drifts found a double hook up and I landed a 13lb Pollack and first timer Sam Pope pulled in a 12lb 2oz Pollack. As the tide picked up, Skipper Terry expertly moved from wreck to wreck to keep us on the fish and more Pollack followed together with a few pout. As with all good trips, the time seemed to fly and before long it was time to aim towards the shore. As we sat back in the cabin and exchanged tales of the ones that got away, deckhand Jay expertly filleted the few fish we had kept for the table.
    Another great day out with Terry and Jay aboard Sea Breeze 3 and talk is now moving towards the next trip – bream fishing followed by some livebaiting for bass. I can’t wait.
