A gentle southerly breeze had been blowing all night and a slight swell started to build
It was enough to make 4 lads seasick. Somebody tried peeling raw ginger and chewing
it, but i dont recommend this as it induces projectile vomiting

i had a tray of rag from the last trip two weeks ago, well it was really
consomme of rag with a few hardy individuals still alive in it,
but this ling did not mind

in 70 meter deep water north of ross bay pollack 5 - 9 lbs in weight could be caught
in quantity, great sport three at a time

Well done! looks like great session... very good looking and healthy ling there...

Tough luck on swells... I guess being sea sick attracted more fish around the boat hehehe...

you'd have to put up with puking for fishing like that. three pollock and heeeve

What is this gentle breeze business?? I was one of those who didn't feed the fish, but there was a bit more than a gentle breeze! Modesty prevents JW from telling you that he outfished the rest of us about 4 to 1. Eamonn, who had never been out in a boat before[b]and[b]never even held a fishing rod before, caught ling, pollock and whiting, came home delighted with himself and wants to know when we are going out again. As for me, a few macks, a few pollock and a few minutes connected with what Luke, our skipper, reckoned was a good conger - before it let go . A good day out with plenty of craic.

Oh, Mary's scones were lovely too.
