    Report on-board Kelley's Hero Charters

    As usual a last minute booking (23rd March) due to a break in the weather did not disappoint with skipper Ian on Kelly's Hero.
    An early season wreck fishing was the agenda for the day with Pollock being the main target and perhaps some early cod.
    As usual Ian did not dissapoint putting us over 4 different wrecks that all produced good pollock up to 15lb with the only reason for moving being Ian is like a dog with a bone and would not stop searching for the first early cod.
    We spent 12 hrs on the water with Ian only stopping once we had all run out of steam and the boxes were full not many skippers would put as many hours in as Ian. Mind you Dennis put in a few hours filleting bless him.
    As usual tea/coffee was plentiful as was the usual banter onboard this very friendly boat.
    I have been fishing with Ian for 3 years and he never fails to teach me something, either I'm a slow learner or Ian knows a lot, I think I know which one it is.
    My recommendation is to always give the skipper a ring even at short notice and he will sort out a trip for you.
    Thanks Ian yet again another great day.
