Volante catch report -New Years Day

[volante]

Hi All.
Managed to get away today, just Marty and myself as Jeff had to take care of his parents who had been in dock.
Started off at one of our inshore marks which produced nothing, moved up to the inshore marks at Souter point and still nothing. Decided to go back to Sunderland and just sit on one of our bankers and wait for the fish to come to the boat. As usual we always have a good selection of baits, we decided to use only lugworm (Yellow Tails) at this mark.
Right from the off it was steady away and ended up with 19 cod to 7lb, all the fish were really hammering the baits and was good sport on the uptiders.
We just used Yellow tails all afternoon and it proved to be the bait , spoke to a couple of boats fishing the same area and reported they,d never had a bite.
Going to give it a go tomorrow weather permitting, plenty of yellow tails left !!!!!!!!!.
Sorry no photos today, press officer not on board.

Well done Dave......nice to see you can manage without me despite your age. Who pulled the anchor if I wasn't there.....? You bought a hauler...?

Should be back up and running Sunday if weather holds out.

Must have been easy if Marti caught again.

Cheers,
Jeff.

PS....How many idiots who you've never spoken to since last NYD try to shake your hand in the club last night....?
