Crystal Sea Trawling Blog

We sailed yesterday and headed back to the south of the Scillies by 25 miles, the fishing is average with a good run of Haddocks but not a huge amount of anything else just a bit of flat and Dorys. There has been a huge swell running today, due to the storm that went up past the west of Scotland, but the wind has only been a 5 - 6 at most.

Alongside us, these past couple of weeks, has beenthe Odyssey Explorer, she is the vessel that searches for lost treasure from ship wrecks and is featured on the Discovery Channels programme 'Treasure Quest'. She has been towing up and down alongside us using her side-scan Sonar, probably looking for more booty.  I think we shall be keeping a close eye on her and if shes in the same spot for too long, we'll have to have a tow near by to see if we can get some treasure ourselves!!!
