    Report on-board Queensferry

    My second trip out with Neil and Paul was just as enjoyable as my first.
    Two weeks ago I caught a dozen Cod in the 6 to 8 pound range, On Saturday it was mainly Ling with a smattering of Codling.
    The boat is clean and spacious, not the fastest I have ever been on but rides the sea well and is very comfortable.
    Mackeral were hard to come by for bait but Neil did his level best to ensure we had enough fresh bait.

    I have to comment on his ability to not only put the boat on the fish but also to keep it there as long as the conditions allow, he is a very skilled boatman and understands anglers needs well.
    Some belting Ling were caught with the best (unfortunately not to my rod) weighing in at over 18 pounds.
    I found baited Hokkais were best during the slacker periods of the tide then switched to a small baited Shad fished on braid.
    Loads of takes and I honestly lost as many fish as I landed. A fab day.
