So roughly half way between Ricketts and Black rock, we drop anchor in lumpy conditions and as nothing was happening I decided to catch 40 winks in the cabin. I woke up as they were discussing about moving, then one rod went off.

I managed to squirrel my way to what turned to be the most advantageous position on the port side, all the fish were caught on the port side, the rods on the starboard side didn't even get a touch. We ended up with 13 snapper and run out of bait.

On the way back the engine it the bertie was making a bearing noise, like a wheel bearing going, according to the skipper, there is a bearing that holds the universal shaft steady, so that got put on the to do list.

All snapper were caught on pilchards, some pilchards had a very strong odour to them and didn't seem to put the fish off. The rigs were a combination of octopus circle 5/0 and 6/0, weighted with a small ball sinker or unweighted
Some 2 hook rigs were snelled and others the second hook floated free.
Snapped didn't seem to mind either, there were a few missed hook ups
Example "B"
At NO point did you mention any other people just because your a mod dosen't mean you can't be pulled up for doing the wrong thing OK!!!

Questioning or are you above the law and don't have to answer?
