Saw the surf so decided to have a ride out.
Got to my spot, started to set my rod up and realised the eye was missing out of the tip, Bugger..!
So I decided to risk it, 3rd cast it cut the line so had to be really smooth casting. 2 hours in I caught this Cod. I was sure the tip was going to cut the line so had to guide the fish through and over the rocks until I caught a wave and surfed it onto a ledge to pick up.
Fished another hour missing one very good bite and another which hit once and never came back. Seeing the line was starting to fray against the edge of the tip I packed up before it snapped off.
Fish was 5lb 2oz but full of roe as you can see by its belly.
Hope to have another bash over high water Mon night
