    Report on-board PLAN B

    Took group of quality anglers from Southend out to a distant mark . Weather was fantastic. Bait was fresh peeler and hermits and quickly hounds started to show, not big about 5lb average. after a couple of hours the sport died along with the tide so we moved further down river and tried our luck again, a few small dogs and whiting on feathers meant for mackerel and then a nice 13.5 hound (see picture) arrived. The tide turned and along with it came rafts of weed, so another move to the spot in the shallows where we caught all the skate the previous day (another secret spot - only 4 other boats there already!)
    Some nice skate caught up to around 7lb about 6 or 7 until the weed became unbearable, so we opted for a bit of mackerel bashing for the last half hour which resulted in about a dozen..
