Missy - 20.11.11, The Fog !!!

[Codfather]

Picked my Dad up this morning and the fog wasn't to bad at horden but by the time we reached Hartlepool it was like pea soup

We hummed and harred but decided to give it a go and head north to hopefully less fog.

Met easyfish at the pier end and we headed out together, safety in numbers or summit like that

The fog got worse as we went on and almost decided to call it off but we persevered.
First stop was a little wreck and we had a couple of drifts together before easyfish moved further inshore and we headed north to another spot and finally clear sky's

Finished the day with 20 odd cod up to 8.5 lb and a few pouting, average size of cod 5-6 lb , we were happy with that in November.
Also heard of a few mackeral being caught over the radio

Most fish taken on baited hokies or baited trace, had planned to anchor up and do some boat casting but drifting was working so we stuck to it.

Not what we wanted to see leaving the lock

Easyfish's fine vessel

Best fish of the day to Codfathersfather

What they been feeding on

A couple of pics thanks to Easyfish, Cheers.

Great stuff Martin , I caught mackerel today , they were big and fat and full of sprats , first time I've seen anything in a mackerels stomach I think.

Good stuff Ray, it's crazy mackeral and shoals of sprat in November, we never ventured more than a couple of miles from land but the lads further out were reporting them.
