Knocked hole in transome - bilge filled and bilge pump failed. Got home quickly and safely.
Fishing - Pollack, pollack, pollack and more pollack. Catching them both mid-water and on the bottom too. Moved to deeper water c.120 feet. Still catching pollack. Eventually they went away and then lsds and huss. Later caught 4 bib. They are very pretty fish but of no size.
Must point out that I often fish baited feathers ( the lowest one on a long snood ) tight on the bottom, allowing the boat's movement to do the jigging.

Hi Peter

Good to see you are still on the water... what is a bib?

Thanks

[Peter Kinsella]

Bib = Trisopterus luscus = Pout

Did not mention originally that a haddock was caught too. Usually caught here in the winter months.
