    Report on-board Kelley's Hero Charters

    Since I last blogged, Kelley's Hero has done a few trips. This included 2 wrecking trips, 1 bream trip and 1 with both due to the weather.

    Whilst out wrecking we have managed to find some nice fish. It is a great feeling being able to report to you that the cod are certainly in. We thought maybe it was a fluke with the last blog. The last 2 wrecking trips has thrown out some nice Cod.

    The first trip the weather was perfect and calm seas blessed our day. The fishing never really slowed down all day with around about 100 cod hitting the decks, and 20ish Pollock. The anglers certainly were going to sleep well that night.

    The second wrecking trip was just as good however the weather wasn't as nice. Before going to bed the night before the weather forecast was brilliant. We woke up, got the boat ready, all the guys were ready for there day afloat. Once we got the wrecks, the tide was just starting to die down, and the chop started from there. It made for some uncomfortable fishing, however we stuck it out and had very similar results to the last trip. Ending up with very similar numbers of fish.

    We decided that it was time to stay inshore and head for some bream, and we did just that. The sea was flat, the wind was light, and the sun was out, what more could we want. We had plenty of grounbait, and plenty of bites. The bream that were being landed were anything between 1 and a half lb, and 2lb 6oz. The species weren't as prolific as the last inshore trips however we ended up with a couple of thornback rays, endless amount of bream, with many returned, and a couple of smoothound.

    So the weather forecast for Saturday was giving light winds again, with a little bit of rain. We don't mind the rain, so we set up another wrecking trip. We turned up to the boat in the morning with our anglers all there ready to go. We checked the forecast before we left, and it had changed ever so slightly. Not enough to stop us though. We headed out to the wrecks once again. However we only had 3 Pollock and 1 cod before the tide turned it got too choppy for us and we returned inshore to go and find some bream. After finding a few fresh mackerel we headed inshore and put the anchor down. After catching a few nice bream, we decided enough was enough for one week and we headed for the pub.
