Well, I was kindly invited to join richie and jason aboard the stingray today to try some hard wrecking. I didnt know quite what to expect so i packed what i thought was plenty of terminal tackle and a new rod & reel to christen.
It was a lovely morning to head out, like dream weather
It turned out to be a slow start for the lads by there standards although i was more than happy with the returns of cod and ling.
after what i though was a reasonable day compared to all others id had on boat trips before, we then hit the dream wreck. all three hittting good fish straight away.
Jasons 11.5lb ling
we all brought aboard ling ranging from 5-8 lbs and cod in much the same region on most drifts for the rest of the day
As Richie said, we ended up with a boat full. conservative estimate at 250lb and id say just over 200lb of it taken from our last wreck in the space of 2.5 hours
At the end of the day i walked away with more fish than ive ever caught before but little in the way of tackle left. High risk high gains as they say.
after reluctantly calling it a day we put the tired rods to bed and headed back into port to reflect on a days superb sport.
not a day ill forget in a hurry, great weather, fantastic fishing and even better better company. you dont often get all three together so when you do best make the most of it.
Thanks lads
