A few pointers please?

[phill_itofish]

Was out again with scot (cocomonkey) again for a few hours last night, had plenty of mackie, infact we couldnt get past them for a while, a load of good sized whiteys, and a little codling. We fished out of the piers in a few differnt, random spots upto i guess about 2-3 miles out. The thing is though we never manage to find many good size cod, as scot is waiting for his new fish finder (old one is goosed) and we wont be able to find wrecks this weekend with out it, where would you recomend we go to get ourselfs a few nice fish and what methods would you recomend?

You should still be able to position yourselves over the wrecks with ya GPS / Plotter, the sounder just confirms you are in the right place, we don't need a sounder, I always confirm the wreck is below us by shouting "Arghhhhh Stuck as F*** again".

You could try close in with some fresh crap around the Marsden / Souter areas.

Good Luck!

[KeithB]

Aye it's not Black & White just easier to see I guess, you wouldn't wanna watch Corrie in B & W these days.

Shady is having sounder problems, nightmare trying to find a company willing to test it.

[cocomonkey19k]

i think shady is going to have to toe us over a nice cod hotspot lol im gonna go have a look 2morro and see what i can buy

[phill_itofish]

fair one lol

Looks like i'm taking Scot over to Storrar Marine tomorrow on my lunch to have a look, so might have it fitted for the weekend, if his foot is well enough to go out

try around the Briar Dene Shoals with crab bait, or just off St Georges around the nettly beds, no more than a mile off. Your GPS co ordinates always vary from day to day and quite often from hour to hour, as the gps usualy picks up the best five from seven satalites, if it changes one then you could be out a little, mind some now use the seven, you could be just be a little bit out and without a fishfinder you would never find the wreck. Mind it is possible to find a few of the close in wrecks from land marks, that you had to do a l;ong time ago.

[cocomonkey19k]

That finder that Keith put a link up for looks like a good deal to me. Well worth it, especially from a local company that you can pick it up from and have a look before you buy.
