Member Removed Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 Headed out south of the NAB early Sunday morning and put the hook down in about 110 feet of water... Quite a swell pushing through as a result of Saturdays stiff breeze, but reasonably slow, long and not uncomfortable. 10 minutes went by without a sniff, then first up, it's a COD! 10lb, followed by conger of 35lb (est.) to my mate, who had to wind another of 25lb (est.) immediate after his first. Quick phone call to Paul D to brag about the COD, but had to cut it short as those pesky fish refused to stop biting... Another COD, 6lb and another phone call to Paul D. The ebb tide continued to give good sport for a couple of hours with mainly strap congers with the odd 20lb+ fish thrown in. Flood tide killed the fishing completey for the next 3 hours, with just the odd Pout and very rare doggy. We were going to up anchor and try further inshore, but the decision to stay put for a couple more hours paid off... four more congers to 25lb, two thornbacks to 7lb and a splendid 8lb bass. I love fishing... and winding Paul D about catching COD. PS. There are photo's but have to get them off of my mates phones. Quote
Paul D Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 With mates like these who needs enemies ! What is even more upsetting is I was invited to fish and opted to go "doggie" fishing instead Quote
Paul J Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 Winding up a Cod and Paul D at the same time is what i call good sport- well done matey PJ Quote

Seamouse Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 There were a lot of boats out on Sunday south of Nab but catches were variable with some folk stuck with just a few dogs, others like Westray getting among the conger and the first cod. Nice to see the cod showing well though, hope it lasts until I can get SeaMouse out there Steve Quote
duncan Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 be nice to see some pictures of these great catches - can't remember what a cod looks like! Quote
