slow day...........i only managed a 3lb bass, niglet blanked completely (apart from mackeral)
in total on the boat about 6 cod to 15lb and 8 bass to 10.5lb.
fantastic weather, brilliant skipper so will def be going back.

anchored for three hours ish for the cod but it was a 6.1m tide so we couldn't hold bottom very well.
then we drifted for bass..........nice to try something very very different from our normal uptiding!
