    Report on-board Moonstone - now Why Worry!

    A final break in the weather allowed us to get out with regular crew from South East Anglers.

    The lads wanted to target Black bream on the Kingmere Rocks 5 miles out from Littlehampton.

    There was a bit of a swell but nothing too bad so we set off at 7am and after a 30 minute steam we were on our first mark.

    Within 20 minutes the first Bream were landed...healthy males around the 3lb mark.

    As there were only 4 guys on board I stuck a rod out myself......a simple flowing trace with a size 1 Sakuma 450 Chinu loaded with half a squid head.

    After netting a couple of Bream for the lads I thought I'd better check my bait. It felt like it was snagged in the rocks at first, but then it moved and was very heavy!

    After a few minutes a nice Undulate Ray came to the surface....estimated at around 17lb and safely returned. Unbelievable on a bream hook!

    The tide turned and the fishing died off so we steamed West to a Ray mark....and it didn't disappoint.

    We had some nice but small Thornbacks and a succession of smaller female bream to finish the day off.

    All in all a good day out with some good fish....and the Sakuma Chinu's doing the business again.
