Stuie Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Left Cobbs with Cabin Boy shortly before 9am and we were out of the harbour in quick time heading east - after guidance from Rob - for another cod hunt. When two or three miles short of our destination ther SE swell coupled with an increase in the NE wind forced our hand and we beat a hasty retreat towards Southbourne. (We opted for just being cold rather than cold and uncomfortable.) Dropped the pick about 3/4 mile off shore and a variety of baits and rigs hit the deck. After about 15 minutes we had interest on the dab rig - and boated a plump ----dab. A short while later a smaller - see-through dab followed. This was followed by a small whiting and a small early plaice. We decided that a move to an inshore snaggy mark might up the species tally but it wasn't to be. Similarly with a move to the harbour which was also fruitless - but not crabless. With fingers refusing to do even the simplest task we returned to Cobbs around 3.30 after another successful but cold day afloat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
