Cant work out what the date is but that's near enough 
,(9th august) anyway, I had a couple of hours out tonight after work ( yes I know, I should have had a couple of hours at work after fishing 
)
Not wanting to spend all my time motoring I decided to hit one wreck and stick to it and see what I could catch, the drift was virtually non existant so shads and such were probably going to be a waste of time , I set a mackerel rig up und caught half a dozen mackerel and put them in the box, next drift I dropped a twin tail over the side just to see if anything would show an interest , something hit it hard and bent the rod right over , I couldn't budge whatever was on the end and it was kicking hard , I was convinced I'd hooked a monster , eventually I decided it was snagged in the wreck and pulled hard, something gave and I started to gain line and eventually landed a ling of about 8lb and few yards of blue mono line.
After landing another ling I decided to target them and dropped a mackerel fillet over the side and was instantly into a good one, imagine my surprise and delight when it surfaced and it was a nice big cod, I thought it had to be my first double on eleda and got the scales out, yet another 9lb 15 oz cod, why couldn't it have eaten one more crab before it took my bait
I was still chuffed to bits with it and put it in the fish box.
I took a couple more ling of about 6 lb or so and my itchy feet got the better of me and I headed for another wreck which produced absolutely nothing.
I headed out another couple of miles and decided to give it till 8 .30 pm before heading in, I picked up another nice cod and a couple more ling on this last wreck before steaming into the sunset at a leasurly 24 knots
A very enjoyable couple of hours at sea
