We sailed last wednesday night and we are due into land our catch to PTA this evening. The fishing has been difficult this week and we have had to move grounds alot to stay fishing, we have a good mix of prime and flats but the whitefishing has been slacker. 

This is quite the norm for mid february as it can always go slack this time of year and with a long spell of cold easterly windson top, this has made the situation worse.

When it's like this we are usually glad of a southwest blow to stir things up a bit and with this week looking more unsettled it should do the trick. Friday is looking poor with the wind going out to the southwest, so I know i don't usually wish for poor weather but this is a much needed exception.
