After a couple of really early starts lately I decided to have a lie in and set off at a "normal" time , I was out and about by 7am , that's plenty early enough (sometimes 
)
As usual the best laid plans went out the window due to the weather but I ended up having one of the most enjoyable days afloat.
I drifted over a couple of close wrecks with nothing to show for my efforst before heading out to some at 6 miles which usually hold a few fish , another boat was arriving at the same time from the opposite direction , I got there first so I claimed the wreck as mine and pushed the other boat aside
It looked like they were doing some knitting or something with their lines
, ayway I watched them fish for a while , the big one was crap and caught nowt but the wreck each drift whilst his mate reeled cod after cod in 
They were cramping my style (catching more than me) so I made my appologies and set off to a wreck where I could fish alone and convince myself that if I wasn't catching anything it was because the fish weren't there , hard to do with another boat next to you reeling them in
I picked up a bird for some company on the way
She was only after one thing though ,
The sea got really bumpy about lunch time and I nearly came back in , instead I fished a closer in wreck for an hour which gave it time to settle down , evntually becoming so flat I set off in search of new marks to the north , good decision , It was 7.30pm before I arrived back at the marina , a contented and chilled , if very tired , angler
