Just got back. Great day out. Countless seals and
porpoises but to top that we saw two minke whales about 5- 6 miles off Scarborough.

PD, we dashed off out to sea thinking we had seen something before we got to Robin Hoods Bay, but hope you got plenty of fish. Like the new Black Pig BTW.

Cheers, nice to meet you & put a face to a name. We were fished up in an hour thanks to Jeff's mark, spot on

30 odd mackerel in an hour & all a good size. We've just cleared up from "Mackerel fest" & I've got a fridge full of smoked ones for tomorrow. Didn't see any pelagics though, nice one, any photos?

Some photos to come. The boys took them and a sort video, but it's on a phone so not great quality.
