    Report on-board Supreme

    The annual Revenue & Customs North West Regional Boat fishing comp was held on10th July 2012 hosted by Steve Andrews on Supreme.
    By a stroke of luck the rain that was forecast did not materialise. The direction of the freshening wind was kind to the anglers aboard who enjoyed comfortable conditions whilst fishing the mark selected by the skipper after stopping off for Mackerel which was in plentiful both on the drift and whilst anchored up.
    The fishing was steady throughout the day keeping the competitors busy. Getting through the Whiting that seemed to plague some of us, was a problem but everyone managed to secure good species count that were punctuated by some very large Huss, and individual captures of decent sized Thornback Ray and Tope. Scoring fish appeared on a frequent basis. Despite being kept busy with the steady stream of scores being called out, Steve was able to confirm each report and keep us in tea and snacks. He is a multitasking genius.
    The Gurnard turned up late in the day - just before we were due to put back in and the outcome of the competition was very close run thing. Those who had done well as expected and those who did less well celebrated the success of another brilliant days fishing in great company.
    Great credit is due to all of the participants who gave their all to make the day the success that it was, and to our skipper for making it all possible.
