Cod Competition

[Greg]

My laptop is offline at the moment hence why Martin has very kindly uploaded the picture. Thanks Martin.

 

Rob Samways and I set off to the South side of the spoil ground.

We arrived at the mark and our squid were still frozen. Without thawing I dropped in a very small squid on a size 6 penned.

 

I then diverted my attention to set up a whiting rod and whilst doing so my rod started to nod. Fish on. The rod tip typically nodded as I was reeling in and I said to Rob this must be a conger!

 

Wrong! A nice 18lb 6oz cod landed within the first 10 minutes of fishing. This was also a personal best for me.

 

Rob caught a nice 8lb Smoothy and as the tide started to race and the Congers got bigger we retired to the Sadler for some gentle Whiting fishing.

 

Rob had about 10 whiting for the pot. So a winning day for both of us.
