We got back in yestrday evening after a couple of days fishing, this was our secound trip this week, as we landed our catch last friday so we could take advantage of the good prices at the end of last week.

We have been working out to the southered again off the lizard, in the beginning of the trip we were seeing a nice bit of squid and cytlle with some whitings, haddocks brills, sole andthe lemons were starting to show. The last few days the lemons have come on stronger and we are seeing a couple of baskets a go.

The lemons start off up in lyme bay and make there way down the coast and at present the best of the fishing is off the eddystone, where the local inshore fleet usualy see some good catches for the next couple of weeks.

This year with the weather being cold the fish are bunching more than usual, so if your in the right place at the right time you could have a big hit of lemons.

We are landing our catch today and it will be sold at PTA tomorrow, we have a few jobs to do today, we have a hydrolic pipe to replace and a new valve for our fish conveyor, Selex are also coming aboard, to fix our sataliite comunication system, as it decided to go down on us last trip.
