duncan Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 of what's being caught? Can't find any reference to the Lymington Open fished when ours was - anyone know what happened? Is anyone catching cod at all out there; charter reports via Deepsea etc are strangley missing and Decembers SAN is of course Octobers fishing so that's bloody useless too! If you were heading out this weekend what would you target and why? Or should I stay at home and saute the squid with a little pepper, garlic and chilli instead?

bliss2 Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Duncan, Its seems ever since the high winds like the fishing has turned off. Everybody I have spoken to have found it slow, even yesterday fishing was very slow. Hopefully things will pick up for the weekend, on the Whiting and Cod front. Perseverance is the name of the game.

Swainiac Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Duncan, the Weymouth boats are still taking bass, in huge numbers, most fish in the 3lb range, largest going almost ten pounds. Last year, the Bass season went right through to feb!!! I'm due out again, next tuseday, and then the flattie comp, of course, and then my final weymouth comp of the year the following monday, so I hope I can post a few catches!!!

Adam F Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 ...and the forecast is looking spot on for the w/end. Ill be out Sunday, but as Duncan said dont know what or where to go - may head over to the West for a go at the late bass, or congering again, or East to sit it our for a cod??....

Newboy Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 I was down in in Weymouth last Tuesday, 6 anglers caught over 100 bass. Largest was about 6 lbs. That was with Revolution, learnt a new way of catching lots of bass using hokki, double, and sometimes treble shots. Over Brighton/Newhaven way, boats are taking Cod and large whiting frequently. My mate caught 3 cods last Sunday, largest 27 lb, in total about 20 cod were landed, the largest about 35lb. Whiting are large, in the 2-3 lb mark.

Member Removed Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 the lymington open was won with a 20lb 15oz cod on the whole not all that many caught though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Been told by a skipper that number of cod caught up to now isn't that good. Apparently half a dozen of cod per chartered is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swainiac Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Cheers Mappers, and welcome to the forum m8, Kam, I was talking to Josh, the skipper of Revolution, yesterday, and he told me that the boats drifting along Lights in one area on the bank down west are taking monster hauls of Bass, with a few codling in the six pound bracket. Adam, If you want a crack at the Bass, and a chance of a few codling to boot, shall I get the numbers from Josh for you?? I'm up for crewing if you need some. Tight lines.......Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Thanks Rich, I know where the lights in one are though. Gordon and I may take a foray down there on Sunday for a crack at a winter bass! Anyone fancy it? Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
