Had a run out to plot some wrecks in my plotter which has been exchanged for a new one under warranty, twas a bit bumpy for plotting wrecks but I got a few in and dropped a line on them just to make sure they were actually there like Couldn't get through the mackerel and coalies to catch any cod ,but I'm sure they were there
It was nice to be out again , shame the sea only started to settle down just as the sun was getting low in the sky and I had to come in.
I'd taken virtually everything off the boat a couple of weeks ago to give it a good sort out and clean and ended up cutting mackerel up with braid scissors because I didn't have a knife What kind of plonker goes to sea with no knife :red:
Wonder how long them mackerel are going to hang about

Nice one Ray!

How far out were the mackerel?

First stop was the hornchurch , it's about 4 miles , I could see them thick on the finder and sure enough first drop down brought up a full string (only 3 , but I only had 3 dylights on ) Went out to the 6mile mark after that and they were there as well , along with the coalies

Great to see a catch report Ray , fresh mackerel for tea sounds good to me i thought they would have been gone by now.
