    Report on-board Danny Boy

    Orcel Sea Training are a small youth group from Hartlepool that takes young people to sea to build their confidence and team working skills. We had the rare opportunity to go makerel fishing on Danny Boy and we had a great time. All the young people caught a range of fish none of which they recognise at first but by the end of the trip they could name: mackeral, bream, whities, codling and dog fish.

    Some of our group were very young but the crew on Danny Boy were very good at explaining clearly what the kids should do and should not do. They provided all the fishing gear we needed and they remaind patient when it got tangled up.

    I think it is important to get kids interested in fishing so when they grew up they may become the next generation of boat fisherman.

    Thanks for a great day!

    Report on-board JFK TWO

    at last a nice settled spell of weather, what a diffrence a nice flat sunny day makes.we headed out the peirs about 7.45 out to a lovely flat sea.
    out to the first wreck and picked up cod and ling from the off as well as a steady supply of mackrel which was used as bait. picked away steady all day with 4inch blue shads and baited daylites [mackrel bait ]. both working equally as good , however as the day wore on bait seemed to have the edge.
    about mid afternoon with several double figured ling and cod aboard. we steamed to the next wreck with slack water not far off, anticapation was high.
    well we wernt disappointed. first drop paul didnt even touch bottom when he shouted ive got something good on, he had to let his star drag off a bit as the fish constantly made dives back to the wreck.and a canny bit later you could see a huge white shape in the crystal clean water some 50 plus feet down.
    up pop a cracking cod, which took the scales over 31 and a half pounds.right round again. next drop again 4-5 rods straight into fish again and paul saying another goodin, bot probaly not quite as good. a very canny 18 pounds ling. and to top it all on the third drift another ling over 12 pounds.3 canny fish on 3 drifts.
    all in all a very good day with a good few double figure cod and ling landed
