Nice smooth trip across to the 'Carpark'........where later in the day I counted 33 boats within a couple of miles........

 

Picked a spot on the edge, closer to the Needles , to escape some of the expected tide, later, on the ebb. As we settled into the last of the flood, I had a good bite on my second drop...... and into a headshaker that flopped om the deck and spewed up a medium sized pout [so a few ounces less!!!], but still pulled the scales to 18 lbs. ...[on cleaning later, it still had 3 more small pout and a load of crabs inside swollen stomach !!] ....... good start !!!

 

Into the slack and it went quiet....... just a few whiting.

 

When the ebb started, it soon got up speed and leads quickly went up to a pound and a half...... and weed was more evident.

 

Action was slow, but a steady stream of reasonable whiting up to 3 lbs [ for Jon and Paul ] and another small cod for me [ about 4 lb.]

 

As the ebb eased and leads went back to 8 oz, the expected improvement in fishing didn't materialised but good points were the super weather with sun and NO WIND !! and a relative absence of dogfish and pout.... so baits stayed intact.

 

Thanks to Paul for another enjoyable day afloat....and a shame we couldn't all get a cod.

 

Alun.

Well done guys

 

Its funny how sometimes one rod gets the cod even though all are doing the same.

 

well done Alun 18lb is a good fish.

 

 

Sounds like there were more cod towards the island, but the biggest came from the west.
