Cod attempt - round 2

[Paul D]

Got a trip on Manta Ray on Sunday along with some guys from work. Planning on going to the car park out to the Needles, hoping the wind stays from the north.

Just busy waterproofing my flotation suit as suspect it will need to be rainproof !

 

Have stocked up with Cuttle from CAC and unwashed squid, hopefully will be able to find the elusive cod as haven't caught one for over a year now ( although actually getting out fishing helps )

 

 

 

 

[Steve S]

The very best of luck, hope it is only the weather that is grim out there.

 

Let us know how you get on.

good luck Paul looking forward to the CATCH reports

Caught a nice Undulate Ray and lost an eel due to poor knot tying on my part

Was hard fishing but one of my work colleagues managed a nice sized cod in the afternoon.

 

Ripped down all day but usual banter on Manta Ray made for a fun day.

 

Back out tomorrow ( wed ) as got week off, so cod attempt 3 ....

Get Al to do your leader Paul

He said it was a massive cod you lost

[Paul D]

Wasn't the leader, it was the hook knot which came undone - only myself to blame.

Was a good fish but was fighting more Eel like than Cod as it header downtide at a fast rate of knots. No head shaking.

Hard luck mate

Happens to all of us at some time Paul

 

I recomend a few more trips to get your eye back in.
