    Report on-board Danny Boy

    Orcel Sea Training are a small youth group from Hartlepool that takes young people to sea to build their confidence and team working skills. We had the rare opportunity to go makerel fishing on Danny Boy and we had a great time. All the young people caught a range of fish none of which they recognise at first but by the end of the trip they could name: mackeral, bream, whities, codling and dog fish.

    Some of our group were very young but the crew on Danny Boy were very good at explaining clearly what the kids should do and should not do. They provided all the fishing gear we needed and they remaind patient when it got tangled up.

    I think it is important to get kids interested in fishing so when they grew up they may become the next generation of boat fisherman.

    Thanks for a great day!
