Another LSAC competition and a good one with Ken catching not one but two bull huss, a first for him on his boat and a fish we have been trying to catch for the last 2 seasons! We started the day feathering for mackerel, and they were everywhere, didn't take long to fill up on bait. After that we anchored a shallow sand bank and proceeded to catch loads of dogfish, both bull huss, a small ray and a gurnard! Finished off the day feather again over a rocky area picking up a few more for dinner.

Catch summary: Shane: 15 Mackerel, 3 Pin Whiting, 4 Dogfish, 1 Thornback Ray, 1 Tub Gurnard · Ken: 10 Mackerel, 3 Dogfish, 2 Bull Huss
