Had a run out today with the forcast being so good , and it was magic , what a fantastic day to be at sea 
The forcast said a bit breezy early on and it was spot on , quite bumpy to start , but a good run of cod from a wreck soon took my mind off the bumpy sea. First fish in the boat was actually a pollock of about 4lb , I had to put it back for conservation sake , didn't want to massacre it 
, a move to a different wreck produced the run of cod , first fish up was a 71/2 lber , nice
I took half a dozen nice fish in quick succession from that wreck before leaving it for pastures new , I'm a bit nomadic when I'm out in the boat
I set off for the "coley wreck " to find Warlord already there , I did a couple of donuts round her watching the rods , but non seemed to be bending so I set off for another wreck close by, Warlord left the wreck soon after so I guess it wasn't producing
I caught up with her on the way back into the harbour at the end of the day.
Meantime though the wreck I had chosen was also visited by another boat , I had a couple of drops there , but there was no sign of fish and I don't like sharing a wreck so I steamed off in search of solitude and found it a few miles further out , by now you could have played billiards on the sea it was so flat , except the balls would sink
My new wreck was stuffed with fish , again I had a run of half a dozen nice cod and again the best one went 71/2 lb , I had enough fish fot the table and was experimenting with different rigs and shads when this bad boy turned up , first decent size one this year
He also went 71/2 lb , took an orange shad ,
This was one of the best days I've had at sea since I started boat fishing , it was glorious , can't wait to get back out there
