My first cod of the autumn on Wishin Too

[niggle]

Eventually got on boat at 9.30 after sorting a few things at home but with no speed limit in the harbour I made good time to a mark south of the Dolphin Bank where I found these 2

Stuart and Neal😂😂😂

On this mark I only had a few dogs even when my anchor decided to slip still only dogs there too,so after a couple of hours I moved to the Needles car park where a charter was on my preferred mark so picked another.

It was still slow with dogs with congers in between to tug my string then I had a different bite and hooked and lost what felt like a nodding cod😤,had a feisty Thornback ray that I thought was a small conger.

Tide went slack and had a few more congers including one so small thought it was a silver eel,then the tide started to ebb so I gave it 20 more minutes with massive whole cuttle.

Nod nod "cod on "and when I looked at my other rod that had a nod nod as well but I was unable to set the hook on that one while playing this fish.Not a big fish about 9lb and as it was lip hooked I put it back after a photo

Looks like you're 'nodding off' in your picture Nige.

Well done on the cod.

Forgot to mention - no cod for us but a nice bass was a pleasant surprise.

Any whiting evidence on the car park Nige?
