we tried tried fishing at a skate mark, the anchor was not holding in the
swell so we ended up conger fishing at a well known wreck

the 43' aquastar can do 12 knots heading into the swell, slowing down
for the odd big sea, she throws up a bit of spray all right. didnt get to
try a following sea

pity about the skate but at least there was alternatives.nice congers jayus my stomach is heaving looking at that swell.
well done for sticking it out brave men

Lumpy old day out there, pics usually make it look better as well! I see how those unhooking sticks work now, must try that method.

yes sean, those unhooking sticks are highly effective, just by rotating
it you can easily get the hook out of a deep hooked conger (or shark)
