A Wild Roker Pier 10.02.12

[lambtonworm]

Me and Ed fish a pretty windy Roker Pier,there was a decent bit movement on the water so went in to the Bunker,I had one cast but it was too lumpy for me in there so I move on to the front to fish the main channel the wind was wild and the wind chill must have been in the minus`s,first cast good pull down and landed a nice Codling of 5lb 14oz,A good start maybe we were in for a decent session,well thats not what happened we managed a few whiting and a dab and that was it,crabs stripped the baits all day,still non of these 2lb whiting that everyone on Roker catches apart from me .. l did manage to get one out at 1lb 10oz 44cm ..

yes mate i keep reading on the fishing pages on Facebook about 2lb whiting and you see a picture of them on a standard dinner plate ... I have seen one this year it was 2lb 3oz and 53cm long ..... i must have had 500+ this winter yet non of these easy to catch monsters ....

Hello Paul,i was using a Century Tip Tornado Match,for around the £100 mark you could pick up a second hand TT if you keep your eyes open,the wind was a pain but the thin blank of the TTM helps ....

This might be a daft question but what size hooks do you use for the codling?
