    Report on-board Razorbill 3

    We have had gales all week so when the forcast was for "ONLY STRONG WINDS" we made the most of it, The wind was strong but we could get some shelter from the sandbanks and shoreline in the BLACKWATER, A short trip to a mark that fished well on these small tides last year and we were fishing, I had 9 hire rods on the RAZORBILL 2 but they are willing to learn so it gives you more time to help( and make tea!).
    WHITING were the first fish aboard but then one of the rod nearly went over the side and after a good fight a fine THORNBACK RAY of 8lb was on the deck, After casting out again the angler had another one almost as soon as the bait hit the sea bed, A smaller THORNBACK RAY around 4lb,Not a bad start, The CODLING soon followed with fish up to 5lb, and thats,s how the day went, WE had 16 CODLING to 5lb, 4 THORNBACK RAYS to 8lb, WHITING,POUTS and DOGS, The day was bright and sunny and the wind decreased in the afternoon, As we went in the sun was going down over the land and the sea was calm, The anglers all had a great day and i have the best job in the world.
