First two sailings, and young Clint was my only client. Clint is an occasional client. A busy man running building projects, when he comes down, it is for the full day. He nearly bit for the 0500 launch, until I mentioned it was 0500... He did sign up for the next three though, to be joined by Mark, Armando and Ziya on the 1800.

The theme of lots of action, lots of short sharp tugs, continued. Small fish we happily caught for much of the day. I say that, it took two hours of the first session before I finally found some. But then the fishing was reasonably frantic. We also had the fisheries come alongside. My first experience of this, but very happy to see policing happening.

We did find one reasonable fish 2nd sailing, but it took the 3rd sailing, and wrasse king Mark to get further specimens, with a string of nice ballans. A small bream for Ziya expanded the species count. Amazing calm weather, awesome clear seas, brimming with fish. Just the wrong size. But still, another day when I love doing what I do.
