    Report on-board Mistress

    After landing a decent few mackerel for bait, we set off to do a few wrecks, however it was a tough day weather wise. Gradually the westerly wind gained in strength as the day went on, making the drift to quick at times for wreck fishing, so Tony opted to go on the hard ground.
    It was a slow start, but by lunch time the fishing improved, with the cod starting to feed. We started to pick a few off each drift, in the 2lb to 3lb bracket. The fresh mackerel bait started to pay dividends on Ling rigs too. Shaun picked up a nice one, about 9 to 10 lbs, on a baited shad and another regular, Phil, had one about 7lb on baited Hokkai's. A couple of new lads aboard did quite well too, picking away at the cod for most of the afternoon. It was good to see one of them, who was a bit a novice, landing a fair few fish. He out fished yours truly. Well done. Considering the conditions, not a bad days fishing at all.
