alun j. Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 ..... and cold !!! BUT....... noth-east and an ebb tide could be not too uncomfortable if you don't go so far out. Got my thoughts on trip to X-ray area........ to see if it still fishes on the ebb for whiting [ and another cod ??]. Don't think the whiting will be around much longer......... the ones I caught last weekend [ 3 lb. ers] had good size roe inside them,. wonder when they spawn? Alun.

Swainiac Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 One presumes they are gorging on the huge sprat shoals, prior to spawning, then spawn when they dissapear from the feeding grounds?? Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Last weekend our sounder was continually showing large sweeping crescents of echo,rightly or wrongly,we assumed these to be Sprat shoals....jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinbad Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I'm using you Alun, as a 'Whiting Magnet '- I may go out one last time during the week if you do the prep work and locate the buggers. Just dont get another 24lb Cod, or we'll all be very very peeved Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
