We had Mark Knight’s crew on board today.

The weather was just perfect, so I asked them to be at the boat for a 5am departure. Got under way and took a 1 hour 45 minute steam out into the Thames Estuary with a flat, calm sea. It was a nice ride out.

We anchored up on our mark and it was not long before WE FINALLY FOUND SOME FISH. At regular intervals skate were being hooked. They also managed a couple of small codlings to around 4lb. So, all in all it was a great day with 14 skate and 2 codlings and some whitings.

It was nice to see some fish pushing up closer to home and hopefully it is the start of our ‘Spring Run.’

Well done to Sam for catching the biggest skate and landing more than his dad.

Thanks for a great day guys; see you in April with hopefully an even better ‘Spring Run.’

All the best,

Skipper Steve
