alun j. Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 After Weds.' tough day, conditions seemed ideal yesterday with light winds and gentle tides. An invitation from Adam allowed the privilage of a trip on the all new, superb fishing platform that is 'Joint Venture' !! I convinced Adam that fishing over near the Island would be much better than Weds., so we headed East....... a lovely smooth ride at 20 kts. With far fewer boats than I'd expected at the cod park, perhaps others knew something [or couldn't get out in the cold conditions!]. We settled into the first of the [gentle ] flood ....but the bites were slow coming; the pout and whiting seemed to have deserted and left the place to the dogs! A slow procession of LSD all day was only briefly punctuated with one [smallish] cod about 6 lbs and a couple of small whiting to me and a pout to Adam... what a contrast to two weeks ago on similar tides! Yesterday we'd lost the horrid East wind, so the only thing I can think of has been the sharp drop in water temp. recent weather has caused [??]. Nevertheless........it was a good day to get out; Adam & Bob's boat is superb for the job and I couldn't think of a better way to spend a cold , grey Jan day!..Thanks Adam! Next trip out.........I'll be looking for a different venue. Alun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
