Fished here today from 2 until 6 to break in a slosh 30 I got off eBay cheap! Slow start with a couple of rockling then as darkness fell the swell got bigger and the wind picked up a little. At about 16.30 as I was baiting up my next trace my rod was swinging off the tripod and nearly pulled in! I grabbed it and struck and after a couple of nice tugs it was well and truly snagged. I gave it some line but no joy. I kept pulling slowly and then a massive swell came in and freed it. The weight felt good and with a strong rip current it put up quite a fight. A few minutes later I had a nice plump winter cod of around 6lb at my feet. To say I was chuffed would be an understatement!!! Alas no more fish so and with it being bloody cold and the sea getting rougher I called it a night. Pity that fish couldn't have found me last week when I fished the open there! Bait used was frozen crab and makerel cocktail. Sorry no pics!

Well done mate - I've never managed anything decent size-wise from Crawleys, usually only bags of smaller fish. Nice piece of luck getting it out of the snag as well
