    Report on-board Size Matters

    [This report was written when Size Matters was operating from Plymouth]

    We managed to get out yesterday for the first charter of the season from Plymouth,
    it was my first day on the new job. It was like being back in school, learning how to fish new marks and getting to know the new boat. There was a group of local lads onboard so the expectations where high, as there was a few fish about according to the lads. As we got to the first mark we where on the last of the ebb tide we only managed a few whiting and pouting to 2lb. Then we moved to another mark, the lads tried some bait but again just whiting and pouting. We moved for the 3rd time, then we hit a few pollack to 10lb. Just as we set up the second drift a pod of dolphins started circling the boat, great to watch but they don't help the fishing. Could this first day get any worse, so off we went again, Then finally we hit a good shoal of fish. The lads where kept very busy till the end of the day, 60+ fish kept.
    Ling to 23lb 8oz and Pollack to 15lb 8oz, all the lads onboard enjoyed the day and said to me they would like this type of catch on there next trip. I said if only my job was that easy ha ha.
    If you fancy a trip out of Plymouth just give me a call.
    Here is a list of the available dates in March.
    Tuesday 22nd,
    Wednesday 23rd,
    Thursday 24th,
    I have more dates available in April and May.

    Cheers
