    Report on-board Rocket

    Hi All
    After a really productive January that saw fish wherever we went , fishing this weekend has been the toughest yet. A stiff North East wind both days didn't help us in any way. Even traveling lots of miles, and having most of anchor warp out to compensate for the sea conditions ,couldn't prevent the occasional and unavoidable drag. A big cat like Rocket dose take some stopping, when faced in a wind with tide scenario . Quite often its not the anchor its self that slips, but the ground we fish is not always strong enough to hold us. When we did manage a toe hold, the results were not what any skipper hopes for. The whiting seem mostly small ,the Congers are in biblical proportions and most other species have decided to go on a diet. Anyway ,I did what any skipper does. I tried hard ,and eventually it pays off. Yesterday Steve Collins aka Shouty Steve managed his personal best Silver Whiting whilst reefing. I'm taking a couple of weeks off ,and then might have another go to target Spurs on the weekend of Feb 22nd 23rd. Fingers crossed it doesn't blow hard ,so we can head out on the 40m contour and do the business. Tight lines Trev
