Another day which highlighted how much the high sun can affect the fishing with the current clear seas. First sailing was interesting. Matt bought along his brother in law Mick. Poor Mick literally fell off the back of a lorry in 1984, resulting in paralysis below the waist.

A trip to deeper water with shads was less good, but from that we finished off in tight back on the surface lures 11 bass landed just the one taken for the table.
