Two Rocks Sunday
Submitted by Batty on Mon, 2011-06-27 21:45
Set out from Two Rocks Sunday 7am, Had a very 'interesting trip' getting through the three mile, never been in conditions like that before. I would like to thank Paul G for the advice not to set off before daybreak as it would have been a massive mistake.
Once through had a rough ride to direction bank, where we caught 3 dhuies, 3 Baldies (2 over 55cm) 4 snapper and 2 Black Arse (1 over 50cm !!)
The conditions calmed down after lunch, and we had a lovely ride back in, stopped half way back when we spotted 2 Humpback whales, they were no more than 100 metres away from us, fantastic to see.
Looking forward to the next trip !!!

Good to see you got some fish .the water was very lumpy making for a bumpy ride ,and the swell on top of that made for a few airborn landings ,but hell I'v got a hainse she will go through anything..Calmed off as we got in the marina .

Glassed off
By the time we were coming back it was really calm, travelling 30+ knots over 3 mile, bit different to the 10knots on the way out.
I was sea sick when we got out to the bank for the first time ever, much to the amusement of father and brother in law, luckily didnt last long.
