Big Cod, Pollack and Mackerel in November at anchor on Sweet William

Massive thanks to everyone for a run out today. We headed off this morning to settled conditions, and a cracking sunrise.

We hit the first wreck to see if there were still any mackerel around for bait and found some solid fish, with very few smaller stamp coming aboard.

The wind immediately began to pick up, so once we had plenty of mackerel for bait (and the pan), we headed inside to calmer conditions to drop the anchor.

Shortly after setting the anchor, a good number of codling came aboard, including pollack, coalies and pouting, with the best being a cod weighing in on the digital scales at 9'11 lb for a new PB (and the biggest cod we've had onboard this season).

After a while, we hauled anchor and every time we tried a new spot another nice codling or two would come aboard, and then it would become slow almost immediately, so we kept moving throughout the afternoon.

A large pod of dolphins passed by heading north, while a seal bobbed around eating a decent sized fish close by which was nice to see.

We headed back home to a lovely sunset. Another challenging, but rewarding day!
