    Report on-board Mistress

    Another cracking day fishing aboard Mistress. Talk about a mixed bag! It was my best day for catching a number of different species.
    Tony had to search around before he found some fresh mackerel for bait. After that, we set off and headed to a few wrecks, picking up a few Cod. I had a couple to about 4lb before landing a Ling about the 10lb mark. The I hit a Ballan wrasse, a few Pouting and Coley before, taking a couple of whiting. After catching a weaver fish, I had a fierce bite. Reeling in, I thought the fish was decent; it was fighting hard. When it broke the surface I couldn't believe it- a wolf fish. The first I'd ever caught. Not big by any standards, about 6lb but it put up a great fight. Tony showed me the best way to skin it and recommend frying it like scampi. It's an ugly looking fish, but one of the best I've tasted.
    Many thanks Tony, for another's fantastic day.
