First launch with a new lad and a "I'll tell you how to catch them" grandson.
More important it was a reason to work off a s~ite head.
A quick run to the coast guard patch and it was baits in the water. Gavin on a king rag had his first ever fish a nice 3/4lb pollack within minutes. While the boy Bannon on Shamrock bleeding glow worm rig had a lovely cuckoo wrasse. Oddly the pollack were slow to take and seemed to be hogging the bottom. Plenty of ballans to keep the crew happy for the hour of fishing.
