Cod

[Gnasher]

as dom aint on line, i thought i'd quickly post for him as he took my dad out whilst i was at work ......well, they had a mixed day, dogs, bullhuss, whiting, jumbo pout, my dad landed his 1st eel, followed by an cod at the end...not sure weight, maybe mid double...all out on his usual xray mark...i need a day off now...well done dad, and well done dom for putting him on fish.

Mixed day to say the least. Nice easy launch but the bar was a bit of a surprise (fair play to the guys who went out the previous day), managed to hit the bar twice just going out but once clear was no problem, headed to xray as knew that there would be mega tackle losses on the ledge. Nice chilled fishing on xray and action from the off aswell, dogs a plenty, pout, couple of small bull huss, a solitary whiting about 2lb, then my dad gets his first ever conger about 25lb which went off at the side of the boat and takes out all the other 3 lines aswell, never seen a conger on xray before, weather turned very eerie when the fog came in which also brought with it the NE wind which froze us to the core with the boat swinging there were tangles galore so we went down to 1 rod each to make it easier both laiden with 3-4 squid. After numerous more small fish, it was my turn to get my chance of a better fish.....sods law my rod arcs over as I have a flask in 1 hand with a steaming cup of hot water in the other. By the time I put these down without scolding myself my reel is screaming and I lift into it, good fish which pretty sure was a Cod which spits the hook after about 10 seconds, that was my only chance of the day, at last knockings my Dad hits into a good fish and after a good scrap brings up a 14lb+ cod. All in all a nice day but cold and too many small fish but it kept us busy I suppose.

Well done Don on getting out and getting Dad on the fish

 

Xray was probably a good spot in a NE wind. a bit further out would have been far less comfy
