Beautiful day at sea when i finally got out!
Turned the key at 06.30 & batteries dead despite overnight charge & no sign there was any problem - seems they just had enough. Could have jumped start from 2 auxiliary batteries but decided too risky as i was going offshore.
So when replaced i finally got out about 11.00 & fished off M. Deeps alongside Ron who had just moved from further out. Put out rods for Tope & Bass & as an aside put my light spinning rod out - sods law i caught nearly all my fish on the spinning rod! starting with 8lb Thornback which put up spirited fight on light tackle first drop down. Saw Ron's net go in a few times too!
Fishing was quite slow except for dogfish. Moved across near B.Sands & caught nice Smoothhound (on spinning rod) which took off on a few strong runs.
As nice a day at sea as you could ask & although fishing was quite slow it almost didn't matter, tempted to go inshore as sounded like Ron & Kris were doing well but as i lost so much time getting out didn't want to waste any fishing time.
Nice reports from Ron, Kris & Carcars - no pics today as was on my own.
Best result of the day- my sunburnt bald head!
Forecast bad for weekend!
