Saintly Fish

First club away day of the year down at West Bay. 3 boats towed down but 1 had engine issues so never made it out. We spent the most part wrecking but it was hard work with a smalll tide and strong northerly wind pushing us across the tide rather than with it. I think this put the fish off as the lures weren’t working naturally ( that’s my excuse anyway). We managed 3 pollack on the wreck with the biggest going 9-11.
Back inshore for the last couple of hours but again the drift was all wrong and very slow fishing. We only found a wrasse and missed a couple of bites. Only mackerel we had was on the way out when we came across a huge flock of gulls on the water. They weren’t diving but picking up what looked like small sand eels off the surface. The mackerel under neath them were mainly small. 
Back on the slip and a guest on our boat took top spot wit( his pollack and second with his wrasse which we had kept alive and released after weighing. I took third with a pollack so not to bad after all 

Take the sail boat off your trailer and put it there!! 

This looks a bit more fit for purpose Steve!

Good call Neil. That's what puts me off of a 17tf flyer as well. The later ones Garry Bull built, he raised the gunnels, but the early ones are low
 

@Odyssey now learn⬆️⬆️

I know nothing of these boats Steve, but a quick google brings up a few pics, and it's not a boat I'd want to go fishing in unless on a clam lake. They have no depth to them internally by the look of it, so standing up and fighting a whiting could prove to be a danger? 
I used to own a 19ft fletcher speed boat and the hull looks a similar shape, so I have no doubt that they will go and handle well, punching well above their weight. But a fishing boat it wasn't! 

Sold rib as offered trips out on another boat, didn`t pan out as expected, bought boat as thinking of putting on mooring,and has more protection and room than rib
