    Report on-board JFK TWO

    weather has been so unpredictable laterly. had to scrape ice off my car and the boat minus 2 degrees crazy for middle of may.
    set off at about 7.30 just cleared the peirs and straight into a shower of large hailstones that actually hurt when they hit you.
    turned south the sea had a bit of northerly roll on but not to bad once the hailstones passed. twenty minutes to the first wreck.
    down went the rods. first off a cod of about 4lbs to a chrome jigger an one pouting to bait [suid]
    around again 2 ling again on squid 4/5 lbs each. nothing next 2 drifts. away to next wreck. simalar pattern but a fish or 2 every drift with cod to 8lbs an ling to 9lbs. the next wreck was the same steady a fish or so each drift.
    fishing was steady away until after dinner when the tide changed an the drift speeded up and only occasional fish being taken. for about 2 hrs
    but later the wind eased [an warmed up] and the fish came on again.
    so all in all a reasonable day with about 45 fish mainly in th 4-6lbs range
