The first trip was with Nevil and the lads who had booked the boat. There was a bit of breeze blowing first think but it eased back after the turn of the tide. We had a better start to the day than I expected with a few roker and a couple of hounds as well as a dogfish before slack water. We stayed put as the tide turned and missed a bite on the first trickle of tide. After another re-bait we still hadn’t had a fish on this tide so we moved back a bit closer to home. We had nothing here either and after an hour or so we headed home. Luckily the first half of the day had been quite productive with 10 roker, 2 hounds and the odd dogfish coming out.
