For Those in Peril on the Sea

A sunny day yesterday and an early start for our Day Off – driving up to Looe for the fishing trip. Beautiful day but windy and there was a strong swell. Andrew and myself are lucky that we don’t get seasick easily but there were some queasy looking people about. The skipper is the best – Steve Brenchley – so we were confident. On the way out we were sailing alongside an old navy submarine which trawled up and down all day.

We got into the mackerel but not to the extent of the massive shoals inshore. Later we dropped anchor to fish on the bottom with mackerel for bait but there were only a few pouting and hitting caught so most of our fun came from catching mackerel.
