Crystal Sea Trawling Blog

We Sailed again in the early hours of wednesday morning and shot where we had left off the trip before. The fishing had slacked off to what is was the day before, so we had a search around, but we never found the fishing any better elsewhere.

Quite often we find that after a very strong blow the fishing can go slack, as the sea goes milky with all the stirring up, so we canonly presume it must be like a fog on the seabed and the fish can't see enough to feed. 

The southeast gale we had the day before reached storm force for quite a few hours so it was enough to unsettle things. Later on the thursday the fishing started to improve and by friday it was business a usual with a nice few monks, megs. whitens, brills and cuttles to be had.

Unfortunatly by friday evening we had a southerly 9 so we headed off in out of it, we landed what we had and went home for the night. The wind has eased today so I'm hoping to head off this evening,  I'm also hoping that it hasn't effected the fishing to much this time.
