As I said on another post...........cracking fish well done Nige

Well after far to much shopping with er indoors due to the weather a force 4 was looking a far better option On the way out in was lovely inshore but lumpy out further so me and Mike sat just to the side of a bank and he started to see how many doggies and jumbo pout he could catch I have to admit it wasn't pleasant with the boat swinging around most of the time a good 90 deg But it was good to be out again. Only one proper bite today to Mike(poutndogstome) which resulted in a nice 20lb 6oz cod,I had enough by 1.30 so upped anchor and left Neal and Martin( Branco) on Court Jester to it and plodded back at about 10knts. Really glad we got out and well done to Mike Nige P.s have got a piccy on my phone if somebody could post for him

Wow just looked at report a catch and Dan on illusion had a cracking cod of 27lb,well done

Wind not as bad as originally forecast so going to give it a go with Mike ,not going to far out . Will post whatever the day brings Nige

Gino,it's not really a certain way. A single squid can catch Keep you're bait fresh,renew every 15/20mins You can use multiple squid wrapped with bait elastic but keep you're hook points showing Cuttle can be good on its day Hope this is some help Nige

Oh lads don't forget to add you're catches to RECORD A CATCH the link is on top of this page,you could win a

Cracking day Stephen,really glad I had to work...........not Nige

Im so disappointed James ,you and Alun have let us " got to work" guys down. Well done you deserve it Nige They weren't suppose to catch anything!

Come on then,how did you get on guys?

Still trying to blag it,but as Alun says I think it will be a bit lumpy but possibly the only window for a week or so Nige

All the best John,treat yourself........buy some long trousers its to cold for shorts Nige

I've used them and have quite a few in mackerel colours main advantage as I've found is the assist hook doesn't get so snagged on wrecks,I bought a bright red one from Mark in alderney and it done very well on the cod compared to the rest of the crew apart from one that was using red/black twin tails who had less cod but his were of a better stamp. Would I use them again.....yes but only if the twin tails didnt work Nige

There's some good utube vids

A successful day Chris Nige

I would use a heavy mono trace,i use 150lb just in case a conger or two are about Nige

Just love the big satisfying smiles...and well deserved well done guys Nige

Gino......rode is Dorset for rope

I know what you want for Xmas now Trev

Seen one there a couple of times over the years Nige Well it couldn't of been Mark(mw) as he didn't have a wet suit then

I use big baits as the dog fest really drains my enthusiasm ,hence I don't get pestered unlike my crew Dogfish Mike Small baits do work its all to do with confidence in what you're using,Chris who done well on cod championships prebaited 14 rigs the night before with two cutttle and froze them so that when dropped down they would sit high in the water due to the fact that they were frozen solid! Nige

Hooray really pleased for you Trev,now you've got a problem though.........she's going to be soooo much fun to drive you're not going to want to stop and fish,

Welcome Gino,cod marks this time of year are easy to find all it takes is a nice day at the weekend and look for boats anchored up ,there's lots of marks between Poole and the needles Nigel

Codless for me and Mike,usual other fish and a couple of big congers. My mate Andy from the island had a 31lb 8oz beauty which he deserves after two days on cod championship without a fish!
