Picture of the day? trip of the week . . . !

[Sutton Warrior]

Went out with mate Colin last weekend, on a 24hour deep water sea bass hunt in the North sea. A 53ft sailing ketch is a very comfortable boat to be on, if a little frustrating on the fishing front, all the rigging and its 7ft to the water line!!! However, where there is a will there is a way:

 

Friday night around 9pm, on the way out, Felistowe dock cranes on the left horizon, about 3 miles:

 

 

We were heading 35 miles off shore . . arrived around midnight, put the anchor down grab a few hours kip, up at 4.30am, feather some live sand eel for bait, we had a great day:

 

 

These bass were about 3-4lbs, we boated fish to 7lbs.

Oh my god. Such big fishes. Did you catch them by yourself?

I really like the first photo. The scene of sunset in the sea is so beautiful
