    Report on-board Skylark

    Started off fishing close to the harbour producing whiting and mackerel

    Travelled further afield with the anglers catching a few codling, mackerel, whiting, pouting a tub gurnard (we haven't caught one since 2014).

    After fishing for a few hours the tides started to build so we anchored up.

    Which produced more cod, a nice 5lb Pollock, a 5lb ling, loads more pouting, mackerel and several lesser spotted dogfish

    Wildlife we had several sightings of bottle nose dolphins passing by, the occasional seal and pretty much every sea bird which can be seen this time of year.

    Overall today the 8hr trip we turned into a species hunt having a go in the sands aswel which we hardly do.

    Overall the customers had 11 different species. The young lad on the trip managed 8 different species himself which is a very good effort.

    Overall the customers caught

    cod, Pollock, ling, whiting, tub gurnard, mackerel, weaver, pouting, ballen wrasse, lesser spotted dogfish, and a dab

    When we returned with the 8hr trip is was a swift swap over and back out again with a 3hr trip

    As this pretty much followed on from the first trip catching mackerel, pouting, codling, and a cracking Pollock weighing 5lb 3oz
