Paul D Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 I would say you would have had no chance of an eel from the ledge yesterday during the day ( it was sunny ). Maybe if it had been well overcast there would be a slight possibility ( ie. The eels think it is night ). I had one eel from the mark we were fishing in such conditions ( fishing with Dan actually ), but I think it is the exception rather than the rule. Jimbob or Adam will probably know better with regards to the possibility of daytime eels from the ledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Jimbob or Adam will probably know better with regards to the possibility of daytime eels from the ledge. The odd one will turn up, but I wouldnt waste my time specifically. During the winter or on very overcast days they seem to appear more, but they need it dark to feed really. My best bet for getting on during the day is on a 100' plus wreck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz Posted September 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 thx for the replys guys 100ft wreck is there one near by or is it miles away?? also would you get cod at a wreck?? as cod time is looming im tending to think stuff the conger and go for cod?? also in general what would you expect to catch in the winter months other than the standard man flu??

Paul D Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Winter months I usually target Whiting and cod ( although not many of them around these days. ) Popular spot for cod is the ground south of the needles - you won't miss where to fish as it is not known as the "car park" for nothing ! ( you will also catch conger in the day from here along with whiting and the occassional Pollack ) Last year found Whiting were not as plentiful as the year before. Cod - I have had 3 in total over 4 years, so don't expect to get many Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Daz As Adam says 100ft + - in bright sun make that 150+ or more This can also equate to 'really cloudy water after a storm' and about 60ft or anywhere inbetween.
