Sweet William finds the mackerel, coalies, cod and ling at dawn

Big thanks to Paul for organising a dawn run out the other day to try and beat the forecasted high winds. We were treated to an amazing sunrise, flat calm seas, and escorted out to the first wreck on a couple of occassions by different pods of white beaked dolphins breaching alongside and bowriding the boat for a short while!

We flicked the sidelights on at the first stop off and hit into massive shoals of coalies and mackerel.

By the time we hit the next couple of wrecks the wind was beginning to pick up, so we made the decisions to quickly head back inshore to calmer, but difficult fishing conditions, for the rest of the day. We held the boat using the engines as best we could to negate the fast drift speeds and steadily picked away for the rest of the day on predominantly codling, ling, whiting and mackerel.
