After a 7.00 start down the marina to sort out all my bits and bobs into the storage lockers, a wash down, an hour of having my head in the plotter and f/finder manuals, the afternoon was free to do a sea trial with a bit of fishing thrown in..
Phoned Deano to see if he fancied a look out, and got the usual reply
so off we set in an attempt to get the boat bloodied...
I wasnt really expecting mush with the wind gusting pretty strong, but i deployed the secret weapon (Drouge)...and the lines steadied and the fish started to come in a steady stream, with Deano as usual, getting the first cod on board the new boat
Martin was out there as well, and had a really good time with plenty fish, also first trip out for his son, who told me he caught the 2 biggest fish
We kept 12 and many were returned, mainly the first cod as a jesture to the sea gods from the new boat...
But today was about the boat really, it was nice ploughing through a chop with the wipers going while tucked inside the cabin on a comfy seat...
Not many pics, but one of a bloodied deck...
And a bucket of fish...
