craster 26.07.2010

its been a while but decided tonight to have a few hours up craster. the only bait i had left was some frozen crab from dec 2008( last sea fishing session) lol so i wasn't hopeful.
got up to the mark i enjoy about 6.30pm and set up, 1 hook rotten bottom rig with old crab, first cast not a bite, second the same. i thought with old bait i would have no luck so prised a few limpet from the rocks and mixed it up with crab, five min in the water and knock knock, managed to hook into 1.5lb cod. baited up again same as before and again within ten min another knock and another 1.5lb red cod. by this time the light was starting to fade so decided one last cast. the bites came again but got hung up in the kelp and lost me weight so called it a night. all in all a good evening, nice flat sea and very warm

left of the harbour on the rocks, anywhere along there is canny but you are fishing kelpy ground so be prepared to lose a bit gear, rotten bottom rigs, one hook, 4-6oz lead without wires, big juicy bait, crab mussel, squid. good luck
