It was a really early start today - but as the alarm clocks were calling everyone- the day ahead was met with real excitement. A small flotilla of boats took advantage of the prospect of good weather to catch first lock out at 7.00 AM.
Lundy is always a special day- the trip usually throws up a fantastic feast of wildlife- gulls - guillemots- oystercatcher- porpoise- dolphin- and many more, on the way out we were met with flat calm water all round.
After about an hour we were met by a massive pod of dolphin that followed our bow and swam through our wake for about 15 minutes.
After Breakfast made and eaten with great enthusiasm - our first task was to catch some live bait - large sand eel ( launce ) were plentiful.
Today's main species were wrasse and pollack that came in at regular intervals.
Dean took us to every part of the island and all the different views were spectacular.
Seal Rock was worth the journey on its own.
Many thanks to skipper Dean for a great day out. Worth the long trip by itself.
From a band of happy anglers.
