Boy do i like monday's

Me and a few work mate's decided to do a boat trip yesterday(beats working )
onboard suveran with simon for a 8hr trip. On are way into sunnyrhyl we had
a small bet on who could catch the biggest fish with me thinking it's already in the bag
as my 4 mate's had never boat fished before. We set sail around 11:30am and headed for prestatyn  




On colin's first drop down he caught his first ever sea fish this little smoothound  


And then mark was into a fish also on his first drop down this little tope  



and this chap caught this nice smoothound  


Apart from a starfish I didn't even have a bite at the first spot  
so me moved 10miles off shore.



We were all hoping some mackerel were about and the were    





We soon had enough mackerel so the big bait's went on    
this is were the biggest fish would be won or lost  
after this chap caught this cracking huss


I quickly followed up with one of my own    


And then this bet winning thornback ray weighing 9lb 7oz or was it  


Thinking it was in the bag I seen that mark was into something half decent    
yep a bet winning huss weighing 9lb 10oz    


We moved back inshore for the last 1hr or so for some dabs,flounder or even a bass  



Although we caught plenty of dabs and flounder's it was the huge shoal of mackerel that had us all getting the
feathers back on and only in 10ft of water. Another cracking day afloat with mackerel,dabs,flounder,dogfish,huss,tope,smoothounds
red and tub gurnards,whiting and weever's all being caught it was just a great days fishing happy days
