Crossy Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 Hi Nige, I am also plannign a trip tomorrow morning but looking closely at the weather. Metoffice inshore saying force 4 or 5 increasing 6 later where as the Poole forecast is for 8mph all day?!?!?!? Fingers crossed for low wind and some Cod! Andrew Quote
great white Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 Have been talked into a trip [How easy was that LOL] Hope to head out but weather will dictate how far, Nige you may get a call later. at the moment I have a space, anyone interested you know where I am 07887 794716 Charlie Quote
ChrisE Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 Hilda Maud will be there providing the good day weather scenario plays out, although the forecasts are not consistent and Hurst Castle wind is currently a tad shy of 20knots from the SSE. I'm expecting a fair swell, there's about 3-5' at present but it is forecast to go down as the day goes on. Quote
LiveBaiter Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 I will be out over a small gulley on the car park that worked last year - subject to a weather check first thing! Toby Quote
bassncodformeplease Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 Hope to be out there somewhere doing a 12 til 8pm to see if they feed better in the dark Mike (goingtoneedatorch!) Quote

niggle Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Posted November 12, 2011 Popped out and it was a cracking day weather and sea state wise. Dropped the hook in the carpark and Alfresco was behind us and Neal was inland of our position,the weather made up for the slow fishing.First a couple of congers to me then I had a cod about 8lb. Then it was very slow while the tide went slack apart from another conger to me,my crew Peter was having his annual November trip out with me struggled with dogs,pout and small whiting. After fishing the start of the ebb the red weed was being a pain so I called lines in about 1.30pm to go in early when my number two rod started to take line and a nice empty bellied 19.6lb cod hit the deck....result. Not the best of tides to fish for cod but it was a lovely sunny day to be out Nige P.S thanks for the bacon odours Charlie made my sandwiches seem very dull Quote
ChrisE Posted November 12, 2011 Report Posted November 12, 2011 Well done, Nigel. We were about 100m inshore of you and fed the pout for the day. For those of us that came out of The Solent The Bridge was an interesting challenge.... I hope that you do as well in Open next week. Chris Quote
niggle Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Posted November 12, 2011 Chris I am rubbish at boat I.D Charlie and Neal even had to point out that they were close to me, useless powers of observation........and I forgot to mention the bridge was interesting. Also forgot to mention that these two cod did fall to my new rig but on the top hook! Quote
Neal Posted November 12, 2011 Report Posted November 12, 2011 Fabulous weather for a days winter cod fishing - Nigel even threatened to remove his trousers at one point! or had I mis-heard, and definately not happy with the wafting bacon!! Fishing slow with dogs and pout attacking the baits - until I dropped a pout head and guts down - then all hell broke loose with congers attacking everything for about half an hour! I single cod about 6lb and a nice whiting....weed became a bit of a menace for a while but weather looked like it was changing for the worse so ambled back early to look for the Harbour Herring! Neal Quote
Mike Fox Posted November 12, 2011 Report Posted November 12, 2011 Well done all....great to know there's a few around. Missed out today, but here's hoping for next weekend! Think the car park will take too long for me, so will stick with Plan A and try for some pan-sized whiting within 5-6 miles of Poole entrance...and hope for a bonus lunker! If anyone could suggest such a spot I would be grateful. Mike Quote
biggcol Posted November 12, 2011 Report Posted November 12, 2011 We also headed out to the car park to look for our first Cod this year and also to get Bobi her first Cod. Fishing was slow only Dogs and Pout. As the tide eased off I had a nice bite and had quite a tussle with something larger than a Pout or Dog. Bobi was ready with net as the leader came into view and there it was Cod. I got really excited cos this was a big fish Bobi did a great job with the net but it was touch and go that it would fit in. I had to put the rod down to help her lift it out, a fine fish of 26lb but this fish was like Nigle's empty and showing it's ribs. We came round on the tide getting bites from LSD's and more Pout. I had another bite developing and as it took line I lifted into another better fish. Bobi was there again with the net and this went straight in a nice plump 13lb 4oz Cod. Just as it hit the deck the anchor tripped and as it was getting close to 1400hrs we decided to haul in a head for home. Poor Bobi still hasn't had a Cod but they will still taste the same who ever caught them. Quote
niggle Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Posted November 13, 2011 A cracking cod Colin,well done it was worth the trek over,there was a few Poole Poachers Quote
Stuie Posted November 13, 2011 Report Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) Great cod and good read Col. Nigel's Saturday cod isn't to be sniffed at either. Due to commitments it's going to be at least a week before we can get out there. Frustrating or what? Edited November 13, 2011 by Stuie Quote
Paul J Posted November 13, 2011 Report Posted November 13, 2011 a nice empty bellied 19.6lb cod hit the deck....result. a fine fish of 26lb but this fish was like Nigle's empty and showing it's ribs. a nice plump 13lb 4oz Cod. Very nice fish gents- well done, shame theres no photos? PJ Quote
great white Posted November 13, 2011 Report Posted November 13, 2011 What a nice break in the weather Craig called me and easily talked me into a run out. 0715 saw us laving the Marina anchor was going down at 0815 By the time we settled down more and more boats were arriving, several were Club boats over from Poole for a spot of Poaching to the East of Club waters. It started oK with several bites as we got used to fishing amongst the red weed again, a small Cod was followed by a pou that had its whole stomach section removed by a Conger that missed both hooks. We got a fiesty conger to the boat that proved a little tricky to T bar In the easing tide more pout , Lsd and a few whiting and shed loads of weed kept us interested/busy. [i am so glad we do not get that weed neerer to home] To be honest fishing was slow, but at least that gave me time to fry the bacon and keep the teapot hot. Nigel you deserve that smell on the breeze, for the text picture you sent me on Tuesday A few more fish would have been nice, but other boats including charters were having a slow time so we persisted. 1600 and time for home with just 1 small Cod and a few whiting. It was a nice day to be out Craig and his son Ashley were great company, we will try again soon. Charlie Quote
Ark Posted November 13, 2011 Report Posted November 13, 2011 What a great warm sunny november day. Made the trip across the bay,fishing was a bit slow to start with pout and dogs and string fulls of red weed when the tide slowed we had bigger tugs first to me maybe a conger bit me off then a nod nod mr cod 17 lb five mins later nod nod again bigger this time 21 lb 8 oz I had anther big hit this time an eel 35 plus hard fight with weed and now strong tide then it was crew man micks turn big hit nearly pulling rod in a quick fight and bang gone bait back down rod goes over again this time fish on !!! then bang gone again never mind mick better luck next time we had a good day, plenty of club boats over there Kev Quote
Maverick Martin Posted November 13, 2011 Report Posted November 13, 2011 Well done lads and ladetts sounds like you all had a ball. I just hope the weather holds until next week end Martin Quote
bassncodformeplease Posted November 13, 2011 Report Posted November 13, 2011 Well done to all that caught cod! I was out with kevin(tenfour) on his mf805 i had work in morn so we didn't get hook down till 12ish started with dog and pout, around one kev says this feels better and reels in a 17lb cod, not long after i get a different bite and hey up comes a very plump 2lb+ plaice Saw Nige heading in as we weren't at carpark around 3 kev says this aint no doggy and sure it wasn't when a 4.5lb turbot comes aboard (he was well happy now!) We planned to stay til 7.30 and so we did but tide picked up and weed but kev gets a small conger and i get a sml eyed ray. Back to his tuckton mooring at 8.30. Mike (beoutagainrealsoon ) Quote
niggle Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Posted November 13, 2011 What a great selection of species,well done Quote
JIMBOB Posted November 13, 2011 Report Posted November 13, 2011 Well Done, some nice cod there! and flattys Mike!! I hope to be back out this week, fingers crossed for the weather, ive got the week off James Quote
Stuie Posted November 13, 2011 Report Posted November 13, 2011 Nice session Mike and great variety. Oh to get out there... Quote
Gas Posted November 14, 2011 Report Posted November 14, 2011 As Charlie has stated it was a poor day on Alfresco on the fishing front with only one small targeted fish but it was not for the want of trying my son and I left Bristol 4.30am and got back at 8.00pm even though no fish for us except the Whiting Charlie gave me for our tea, it was a glorious day out weather wise and its always great to be on Alfresco with Charlie. Thanks Charlie Quote
