fantastic pics allright. It was fun night with everyone catching, band playing in the background as the ship left. The way the ship turned in the harbour to go out was amazing.

I was out in the harbour yesterday and it was nuts alright, we were trying to catch a pollock or two, but just couldn't get past the mackerel, they were hitting everything at all depths. There was a huge amount of activity near Fort Carlisle area. Nice to see so many mackies as they seemed scarce enough in recent years.
