I plan to head out there on Friday with Adam aboard Quest II.

Tides are much tamer than they were out there yesterday.

Still managed a good day with Olympic Cod managing to catch up with the lures at a drift speed of almost 5 knots.

 

The fishing is FAR better though once the drift is running between .6 and 2.5 knots.

Neap tides are more preferrable and much easier.

 

If fishing neaps, try and use 12lb or 15lb micro thin braid and this will allow the use of 6oz or 8oz leads. My own braid is too thick, its one of the "Extra thin" vaireties, but is 23lb and I was needing 10oz+++ to feel the bottom.

If you go any heavier you will need 1lb plus in bigger tides and will still not feel anything.

Keep it light and the Codling will show there worth.

I'm meeting PJ and Co 0700hrs @ Baiter so we should have Fugazi in and ready to go in time to meet up with you guys by 0730hrs.

 

Cleared the boat of all excess kit today and now have a mountain of boxes, rope, spare anchor, chain, fenders, covers, weights, etc in the garage. I,m hoping that reducing displacement by about 100kg will improve fuel economy tomorrow!
