Stayed away from carpark!!

[Kingfisher 126]

Left Cobbs 7.30, Twin sails unable to lift (frozen up may be) but just managed clearance to sneak under.

Wight Magic already waiting for a old bridge to lift.

Quick chat with Dave as we waited he was off to IOW, we were staying in the bay.

 

Cracking weather but a real nip in the little wind there was.

 

First mark real slow, LSD's and poxy pout sealing the baits.

 

Then a couple of 2lb whiting, nice bonus as people were saying how quiet the fishing was.

 

Using Nigels tips, hooks rigged as shown at meeting, them hooks are sharp, fingers now like pin cushions!!!

 

Tide slacking and loads of fresh bait loaded.

 

Rod in hand waiting for the slightest of bites as Nigel says you have to be ready for.

 

He's right, smallest of bites and I hit it, fish on.

 

17 lb 2oz cod first this season and all hooks doing their work, couldn't beleive the hooks so deep on the smallest of bites!

 

Last of the ebb and a couple more whiting etc.

 

Change of tide and a bit activity but only whiting and LSD's stealing the baits.

 

Then a 5 lb blonde ray.

 

A cracking day with the weather and a few fish for the table.

 

Thanks Nigel for the tips most welcome and worked a treat.

We had a very slow day.
