Wednesday 12/08:
As Paul (captain_nemo) couldn't make the evening trip on 11th, he kindly asked if I'd be interested in heading out with him for a few hours; which I kindly accepted.
Paul had other plans but after repeatedly sending him pictures of the catches on the night of the 11th, I'd convinced him to take the plunge and head to the same banks as the weather and tides only allow them to be fished very occasionally.
Unfortunately, as the tide was slightly later we'd have even less fishing time before we'd have to leave the bank for home. After picking up a lb of live Eel at Swansea Tackle and Bait I joined Paul and Nathaniel (nathfisher) on the boat Deep Purple, which was moored on the outer pontoon ready to go.
The journey out was pretty nice, sea like glass, lots of porpoises and razorbills with the occasional gannet.
Got to the bank and again bobbed around until the drift began to take us over the top of the bank. We only managed 5 bass and a few dropped before we'd ran out of time. All quality fish, biggest at 5lb suitably going to Paul, not too bad for a hour or so.
