Well what can I say about yesterday, probably the worst conditions I have ever fished in and watching nigel and mike banking up almost vertical at times wondered how they managed to stay standing.. Luckily I was on board court jester and a great skipper Neal kept reassuring me that we wern't Gona die haha... Neal and myself had a couple of good rod bending runs each but just couldn't sink that hook. Well done to mike on his cod producing mark to get a 20lb cod well deserved in those conditions.. Watching nigel and mike head back over those waves gave me the shivers as we had to get back to Poole... It was a little harey at times but court jester ( arvor 250 ) and skipper Neal copped with the conditions perfectly thanks Neal...

Nice catch four cod in one session, what a day. Wish I had chosen fishing instead of work now !! Roll on next window :-)

Little sal :- yes mate I was well chuffed. We all needed something to lift our spirits on such a rough sea!! Going to try to get out tomorrow now sea has calmed down, maybe flat enough to get a little snooze in !!

Hi all my first catch report :- First i have to say, best thing i have done is join pbsbac,What i have learnt from you guys in the last few months has set me on my way to some great fishing.With special thanks to mike and his patient nature haha.... Sundays cod comp... left mudeford quay at 7.15 am a little foggy and in a Alaska 500 a little lumpy.Headed off to a mark that mike had given me.For most of the morning we were pestered by dog fish and pout to the extent that we were running low on bait.At around 12.30 my cousin pulled in a cod 14lb 3oz "NICE" even though i was a little green with envy!! About an hour later a rod bender for me but turned out to be a conger of around 20 -25lb. Then the end of the day was here and all our bait had gone. we needed to head in to make it back in daylight. But as we fishermen do said one more drop 10 mins so i stipped off the bait that was left on my double hook rig and added it to my single hook rig , Within minutes a screaming run which produced a 25lb 2oz cod "FANTASTIC"
