JIMBOB Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Well yesterday was very similar to Aluns Day Tuesday. Big tides that dragged my anchor, away from my favorite spot , then loads of red "glott weed" as I like to call it. but it was far from calm , a rather uncomfortable swell was rolling in from the S/W with a brisk N/W wind on the top made fishing very uncomfortable at times, The "car park" It Wasn't yesterday . I only could see two other boats and they were well out from us and the only other boat about was a trawler that kept going up and down. As for the fishing, slow, loads of dogs, no pout or whiting and the cod seemed finicky, I dropped one half way up, Mark dropped another at the net, then landed one at 9lbs and on gutting marks fish maybe there's a clue why they were not gobbling down the bait, it was stuffed with food! I mean stuffed! A whole good size mackerel was still hanging out of its mouth!(along with marks triple squid bait!) Then it also had a whole flatfish and a whole swimmer crab! Once gutted it only weighed 6lbs! There must be some food down there! James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun j. Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Well done on the effort James..... and at least you got one! I agree about the food .... but that's why the fish are there. I only got whiting as I was targetting them over the slack... only two came on the cod gear. I'm hoping to get out in the Bay tomorrow [ for a comparison!]; then back to the cod park[??] next Mon\ Tues\ weather window of calm !!! Alun.
