    Report on-board Ocean Odyssey

    Odyssey took her first trip of 2023 out to the Celtic Deeps on 3/6/23. It’s still quite early in the season. Given the nasty Easterly wind it made for tricky conditions.

    After a quiet morning and a change a location to get our drift back into an area that delivered the goods lass year we had our first run of the day. A very healthy fish of approx 180lb was landed after a 15 min scrap. It was the anglers first time fishing for porgies so I was glad to find him a lovely fish to open his account with!

    Next run was a few clicks on the ratchet. This went on for 5 mins but the skipper managed to work his magic to get the fish to take the bait. After a 20 min battle and thinking that I had actually hooked a nuclear submarine we got first sight of her. She looked us in the eye and promptly took all the line back… However after giving me the runaround, doing her best to swim under her the boat she was soon alongside the boat. A right lunp at approx 300lb she was released and shot off like a rocket and skipper had to have a sit down to recover!

    Not long after we had another run and it was fish on again. Another prime porbeagle of about 160lb was soon boat side to be released.

    We had a group of 3 blue sharks swimming in the slick off the back of the boat but sadly no takes. Hopefully they will increase in numbers over the next few weeks. An excellent start to the season hopefully it continues along with some settled weather.
