WX
Cloud cover: overcast until 9am then sunny
Wind direction & speed: ENE <10knots dropping to about 5knts
Sea state: 1m swell
Drift: 1 -1.5kms p/hour toward NW - WITHOUT drogue

Not much to report launched MG at 5:45 & headed to sunshine wide A403 headed to some birds working only to have a boat plough right through the middle of them before I could get there & put the school down.

That was the last I saw of them.

There was sporadic free jumping tuna every now and then with a few splashes here & there but no bird activity as witnessed by kev yesterday - maybe later in the day perhaps?

I trolled, bottom bashed and jigged SP's, fished wide marks, close in marks to no avail, returned to MG at 12pm, covering 22kms, without a serious enquiry.

BEWARE there was lots of blue bottles around today, some making their way up through my scuppers, and also getting wrapped around lines, making life interesting.

Good luck for those venturing out tomorrow, I might have another crack on Sat.

cheers - brian
