djredrupp Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Fished off a friends MF 805 on saturday, after leaving from the hamble, with the intention of getting some cod off the Needles... Unfortunately no cod, but the pout down there wont be eating for the rest of the winter, after devouring 5lb of squid over the day, catching around 40 of the bug%ers! interestingly (or not as its only pout....) they were only biting on one side of the boat,,, despite 6 rods being out, with same rigs, baits etc..... (though they were biting 8/0 hooks,,, and not even nibbling 4/0s... explain someone!!!) Continued fishing until it was dark, as it was a great day (weather wise!) with flat water, warm sun, and around 30 other boats around (so we MUST have been doing SOMETHING right!), but unfortunately we were in pout-central, so no cod, conger, or anything that can bite a hook and pull a 8oz weight...... Ah well..... Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinbad Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Dan Sounds a pretty reasonable day... pout on 8oz leads, is better than two doggies on 1 1/2lb - soon wears a bit thin, when you are re-baiting every 15mins... keep at it - maybe with the number of baits on the ground from other boats, it reduces the chances of them (cod) being under your boat.
