Missy 25.07.10

It has been a couple of weeks since we were last aboard Missy and the last couple of trips were superb, so would we do alright again ?

We left the lock about 6 this morning to lovely weather and a nice flat sea, good start.

First drop down I was straight into a nice cod of about 6-7 lb on the red headed shad. Then I managed another drop down on the same drift of the wreck and fetched back up another codling a little smaller this time.

Took the boat around again and dropped down, I thought I had snagged the wreck for a second but no, it was a good fish on and taking line a few times on the way up, turned out to be a nice cod of 15 lb, happy days.

By now my dad had given up on the muppets and rigged a shad up resulting in a nice 9 lb cod almost straight away.

We had a few more nice fish including another cod just over 10 lb, but things started to slow down, so we tried a couple more wrecks getting the odd codling and ling here and their but not as frantic as the first stop.

We did'nt fish the boat competition today as I could only get out for a few hours so we headed in just before dinner after a canny morning out.

A bit water on the camera lens I think on this one

Nice ! Seems you just have to hit the right wreck at the right time with the right tactics and that's all there is to it

Nice1 still seems to be the better cod comming from your area, think they grow 6lb+ from the ones we are getting up our way.

I not had 1 over 12lb this year yet up here.

Cheers lads, been a good year so far at Hartlepool for us, had some nice quality fish.

Bring on more gentle westerlies along the north east coastline for us all.
