Huge thanks to Duncan, Archie, Niall, Amelia and of course Willow for coming aboard for a very late notice run out today.

We headed out to flat seas, zero wind and we were also blessed with the most incredible sunrise.

The first stop off for bait proved fantastic sport, with pollock, mackerel, coalies, whiting and pouting, but not a single cod coming aboard.

We thought we'd have a try on a few wrecks seeing as we were already a decent way out. It was pretty painful to say the least. A long spell over the course of almost a couple of hours with only Niall managing to find a nice cod, his new PB, at just over 3lb.

We kept persevering, and Archie found a nice pollock and a lovely cod for his new PB at just over 6lb.

Once we finally hit slack water and the drifts slowed, we put on the big wrecking rigs, and headed off to a favourite Ling spot...Duncan almost immediately hauled up a beautiful 18'11 Ling!

At this point the tide was starting to flood hard, and conditions again became very difficult. We called time and headed off on the long steam home, happy after yet another incredibly challenging but very rewarding day!

Massive thanks to Tog Edwards for organising a run out with the Keel Inn Angling Club who travelled all the way up from Barnsley. We also welcomed aboard Paul Harland and Stuart who was out celebrating his 70th birthday.

The weather was incredible, flat seas, sunshine and little to no wind.

We headed out and found the mackerel on the first stop, not in great numbers but enough to provide plenty of bait for the day.

Once we got to the wrecks after a considerable steam, Wayne knocked straight into a lovely brace of cod with a combined weight of 16.11 lb.

Steve winkled out a fantastic Ling of 14.15 lb.

Paul was quietly pulling in so many fish he ran out of places to put them all; we broke out the backup jumbo cool box, and before long he'd filled that aswell!

It was a pleasure to have a full boat of great anglers and the results speak for themselves. Keel Inn Angling Club performed well, but we have to say... "NOT BAD, COD DO BETTER"!
