Had been watching XC weather the last few days and conditions continued to improve. Sure enough this morning 0800 hrs, wind non existent, sea slight and very mild. Set up first drift about 4 miles out, strip down to t'shirt, sea like a mill pond, but no tide running (0.1 knot) Not much happening, so baited up some size 4 hokais with squid strip. Instant double of Pout. Pack up Hokais. Then out of no where we are hit with a squall of Biblical intensity. Dover coastguard suddenly come over the radio with a severe weather warning of this sudden squall of 7 - 8 force. No **** Sherlock's, as the skipper urges us all into the wheel house for cover. Skipper point's the bow into the head wind and we agreed to give it 20 mins to pass over, rather than immediately return to port. It cleared as quick as it arrived. The morning's fishing was pant's. Once the tide started to move, the fish decided to feed. When the tide finally hit 0.7 knots the better fish wanted to join in. Bazza Luxton the better fish of the day. Thankfully it turned out a fun day, enjoyed by all
