    Report on-board Becca Marie

    Well it was good to get back out on the Wrecks again after a Period visiting the Banks and roughs.
    The weekend of 17th and 18th of May saw Becca-Marie Fishing Inshore and offshore Wrecks.... Saturday was spent on our Half day Wrecking trips two ( 4hrs) trips and despite the water still being dirty with May Bloom the Pollock were feeding which kept the Anglers happy.... Although not huge ( up to 5lb) they were in abundance, so great fun was had by all on these shorter trips.
    On the Sunday we left at 6am and headed offshore into the Deeper water, We arrived at Wreck in very good time and just by looking at the water clarity we new a good day was on the cards.... First three drifts produced no fish but on the fourth the fish woke up! The first double figure Pollock were netted and a new personal record was set by regular 16 year old Sam LeBaily with his 11lb 5oz. As the tide slowed down a Cod and three Ling were gaffed the Largest taken by Rafal Wszotek at 22lb 9oz,
    As the tide picked up from the Slack more double figure Pollock were netted , the best of which was by regular Alastair Finch just shy of 16lb and the best Pollock of the day by Daryl Acreman at 18lb 2oz....... The wreck continued to produce fish for the remainder of the day, which made a nice change to remain on just one wreck.!! We had 20+ Pollock with the smallest at 7lb which has made it one of the best days we`ve had this season so far.
