blueboatdriver Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Lovely sunny day out in The Channel on BlissII today; flat calm, red hot , couldn't be better. We had over one hundred eels ready for use but in the end I think only one eel caught, the rest was all caught on shads of various designs. Tally for the day was twelve cod to nine and a half pounds and one pollack of about nine pounds; Six cod to Matt, and three each to me and Tony who both lost a couple of big fish, we're not sure what, but both had our line broken after a big run. Matt also had the pollack. Great day, and a good crack on Bliss as usual, cheers Matty. Simon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam F Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 No Jimbo - unusally for a change - I have too as well! Gutted to have such a busy week when the weather is this good - multiple catches of cod, double figure bass and trips to Alderney all missed!!

blueboatdriver Posted June 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Not really sure Duncan. My fish had been on for about two minute and felt very heavy but not uncatchably heavy. I'm sure I must have been quite a few metres off of the bottom but the line just started being taken. It was either a large fish or the one I had on had taken me to ground. I had to put my thumb on the spool to slow it and the line parted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
