Cod and Ling aboard Sweet William today

We welcomed aboard Callum today who won a place aboard as part of the Jubilee Open fishing competion recently. Together with Paul, James, Ryan and the lads, we headed out to flat seas and sunshine!

The first stop produced a good number of mackerel for bait, with a decent steam to the first wreck. We hit on, with a solid stamp of cod and ling coming aboard.

Towards the end of the flood, during slack water and the beginning of the ebb tide, the fishing was incredibly slow, but we'd prepared for this eventuality earlier in the day. We headed to a bigger wreck with longer slower drifts, chilled out and enjoyed some lunch in the sun, whilst grinding out the tough patch.

When the tide turned, the fishing started to slowly pick up again, and by the time we hit the last wreck of the day we were treated to a little frenzy to boost morale for the long steam home.

'It isn't over until we say it is!'
