Last minute skive from work decided to get a couple of hours in this morning before the wind picked up a bit, as usual not out as early as planned but leaving the marina at 7am to a nice sea but looking at the horizon it wouldn't last long, headed out to a wreck about 4 mile mark dropped down, wind picked up and sea became snotty very quickly, decided to get a few mackerel quickly for the bbq and head back in, closer to shore although the sea was lifting it was fishable so headed north against it to souter thinking if it gets worse at least its following me back in!!
Drift was fast but after 5 mins hit into a nice plump 8lber, only in about 4oft of water, with the drift speed as well it gave a cracking fight, thought it was that elusive double ..... but not to be!
Took another 4 cod around 3 to 4lb, all close in and on tiger twin tails, only had 3 drifts and weather was getting worse, heavy sea fret came down and bigger swells started to turn over a bit so decided time to head home, only managed a couple of hours but still enjoyable, weather turned lovely when I got back into marina so sat in the sun for a couple hours...... sorry I mean cleaned the boat!!
