Report: friday was flat calm, great sport can be had with pollack up to 10 pound,
a huge shoal of spurs have pitched up on the haddock grounds and eaten or driven
them off all i could get was one haddock

the breeze was getting up to twenty knots on sat, the sea state was breaking
up the slick and the boat was drifting too fast, the blue sharks could not follow
the slick, all we got was two baby sharks

wow thats a bit too much like "deadliest catch" for me .brave men

[jw]

the spurs are curious creatures, when one is hooked his buddies will follow
him up from the deep water right to the boat, hang around while he is being unhooked
then escort him back down to the bottom again to resume business as usual

hoping for an easy meal id say. and probably aroused by the struggling fish
