Well with the School closed for polling a station my mam was off today so i took a few hours leave and decided to have a short sesh fishing, the plan was to fish a few rough ground marks and the odd close in wreck
I knew it was not going to be a flat day with a SE wind blowing and i was not wrong, to say it was hard standing up was an under statement but we set about fishing a few inshore marks since we had forced us up at 4.45am
Myself and my mam dropped close in and straight into coalie 5 at a time and odd pouting but no cod so we set off abit further away from the piers and we hit a mad 2hrs with cod on anything you put down, we drifted around taking a fish each every 5mins or so and all between 3lb-7lb...It was nice to catch after over a week of no fishing.
We landed 28 cod between us, 2 pouting,1 pollack and a poor cod along with loads of coalie.
I had the urge to fish 1 wreck so we set off abit further out to a wreck, not really a good idea as you can see from the pic, 20mph SE wind and big rollers, spray and white horses but it was worth it for me as i landed my first pollack of the year at about 5lb.
Nice few hours fishing 5am until 11.30am we kept 8 cod and put everything else back, to fight next weekend, busy from now until next week so no fishing until Monday i fear, thou looking at the weather dont think i will miss much, 2.6k was the drift at its peak today.
Still rocking now but ready to go again when the sea drops.
