Second Wind - A fish supper



Charged with the responsibility of catching fish for the ships kitchen and not knowing much about sea fishing,my reading and research led to the purchase of a travel adapted boat rod, multiplier trolling reel, high breaking strain lines with miscellaneous traces, swivels and lures etc. For the first week nothing happened, then suddenly the reel screamed! The boat was doing 7 kts one way and whatever I had hooked was going like a train the other! Result broken line and broken reel. However our resourceful skipper has a huge collection of spare parts on board and is apparently able to repair almost any mechanical device, so I was soon able to fish on.

Next day, another take on a small lure resulted in a much smaller fish which I was finally successful in reeling in! Simply cooked by baking in lemon and butter it made a fabulous super for 3 of our crew. Cost per head - �37! Well no one said sailing holidays were cheap. I need to catch more!
