We headed out and the swash was horrible, with hopes it would flatten a little out deeper we plodded on. It didn't! We agreed to try at anchor as we will were only a few miles from the mark. Give it an hour, or half and see!!! At anchor it was awful, rocky and rolly. Hard to stand but with tide and wind going together we had a go. So did 2 other boats. I had some whiting and some kept for tea, Graham had the target species:

Graham and I hatched a plan to take Free Spirit out today, i can't do tomorrow so today or was. I met Graham at Cobbs just before 8 to load up and head out for a blonde. Frozen windscreen, no problem, bucket of harbour water over the cabin. Wrong, frozen as sheet ice. On with the asmatic heater and off in to the cold. (Some of Cobbs had the surface frozen)

Enjoy Dave!

I thought only mum's went to Iceland!!!

Enjoy Kev!

Seems the bass regs are the same as last year until further notice: " Until the regulation fixing the fishing opportunities for 2017 (the “TAC and Quota Regulation”) comes into force, the 2016 measures shall continue to apply. Therefore from 1st January 2017, where the guidance states “2016” this shall be read as “2017”. " https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/bass-fishing-catch-limits-closures-and-minimum-size/bass-fishing-catch-limits-closures-and-minimum-size

May your rod be straight and true also! Happy New Year!

Great start looking down to the RNLI at Holes Bay: Out in he harbour: Raymond:

So it was a nice day out, I fished with DaveE and Alun on Reel Magic. Great boat, first time I have been onboard. We had some congers and some whiting, then some congers and a few more! In the mix we had a couple of Rays, 13lb blonde to me, sideways and made me work for it! Dave had an 18 or 19lb blonde and AJ followed up with a Undulate of 13lb something. The whiting were obliging at the end of flood / start of the ebb, but disappeared with the stronger tide and never really came back. I squeaked out a larger whiting of 3lb 4.5 oz near the end of the day, to take the honours in the whiting sub-comp of the day, netting me £50 in PSAC vouchers. Thanks Andy! The only cod on Reel Magic was a Poor Cod and I was in 2 minds to weigh it in, it was a 'cod' but would have been bad taste!!! I believe a 19lber won the comp for Greg Toms and Dean Burt grabbed 3rd with his cod. Only 2 other cod were caught and both came to one of two charter boats. 37 anglers and 4 cod, not good. I hear the last cod comp was 27 anglers and more cod caught - please advise if the numbers above are wrong, I wasn't listening 100%! 'Twas nice to catch up with a few wind burnt faces at the Mariner afterwards. Cheers, Rob

Looking forward to some very fresh air. Here coddy coddy!

Enjoy all!

I saw a post that someone has landed and new kenzaki and reel at the cod park, go on, admit it. Who lost it? Neal?

Results please? R

With Alun's report of a monster conger on the Clan, I'd 'pop 'out'!

You draw too much depth, out drives and outboards only on the "spot"!

Enjoy! Perhaps have a couple of LadyBoys we know you are partial? It's a drink (http://www.idrink.com/v.html?id=40844)!!!!

Nice to see it has extended to the east now.

Do you know someone Jim?

^between the 18th and 19th boats you come across!

Nice one Mike, I won that comp from Court Jester too! Neal does know his cod spots!!

How did y'all get on? I saw Dean had a couple.

Too far out to call yet Tony, we will have to wait and see. Rob
