Crystal Sea Trawling Blog

We sailed on saturday and for the time of year the weather has been quite settled, the fishing has been steady, with a good mix of fish. We have travelled around a bit in the search for the best fishing, we started the trip away off to the south of the lizzard, then we moved to the west by a dozen miles and now we are to the south of the scillies.

Its been a cold old week with a constant breeze from the east which has been strong at times, so we have had to wrap up warm. With low presssure out to the west, there has been quite a large lazy swell running most of the trip but its quite a clean swell.

This type of weather is perfect for the local surfers who have been out in their droves this week enjoying the waves, at least we can say we have rode the surf before it reached them.

We are due in tomorrow evening to land, we are hoping for a better market, as it's Valentines day soon and we are hoping that the valentines will be romancing over a plate of the finest fish, obviously the perfect combonation!
