Paul J Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 (edited) I arranged to take Al Hughes cod fishing today. It was a lovely calm and warmish day compared with the previous days frosts so things were looking good from the off. oily flat seas and no wind saw us go a few miles offshore to anchor up and fish for cod. It was a treat to be out there on such a calm day but the forecasts were not good for later on so we had one eye on the weather and knew we didn't have long out there . Well we didn't need long out there as after the 10th dogfish and nothing else we got bored and went inshore again. Well that decision saved the day, as shortly after, AL caught a Bass of 8lb 60z on a plug. he then did it again with a fish of 4-5lbs so i then woke up and joined in the fun with a 4lber. This continued for the rest of the day and we ended up with 12 bass ( AL=8 Pj = 4) as well as a wrasse for AL on a lure. A great day out, good fish, good conditions and great company All the fish went back happily too.

Gruffy Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 I thought Alan only fishies for bass? Nice fish I do. Can't seem to catch a cod to save my life PJ thinks the big squid baits are for cod but they're really there for an 11lb bass. Can't let Alan Mc Avoy take that bass C&R award again, he'll think he owns it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
