Forecast was perfect, in fact almost too perfect but the morning started off slow as we were greeted with thick fog at Yarmouth. After heading up the Solent at 12 knots the fog cleared just past the Needles light allowing the purring engines to roar into life and push us along at a cruising speed of around 35+ knots!
After a slow start we hit a wreck loaded with prime English Channel Pollack and made the most of it! The Red Gill Evo pink seemed to be taking the most and also the best fish at just under 12lb...
I think around 4 prime codling were also caught on the pollack gear including one to Bri...ever the conservation minded angler he was playing catch and release for a few drifts missing multiple pollack takes...this was soon corrected once he removed the plastic hook protector from the lure!
Great weather and company, and a boat that gets you to the wrecks and back to port in quick time made for a very enjoyable day.
