Hi lads,
Had a late start yesterday with a unplanned last minute dash to wet a line on me Todd, as I had to get back home at dinner to sort a bit of biz out.
The tide, water and forecast was irresistible !
Got down the dock and as expected fog was in, got started off with 1/2 mile visibility up the channel and just past the Hugh pier it was pea soup.
Radar on and dodging the dahns and trying to miss the tankers anchored off, , I made it through the war zone into safer water, got on the first wreck on the back end of the ebb.
First 2 drifts , dare I say it, POllock, 6-1/2 and 4-/12 then a couple of cod on the 3lb mark. Then it went dead.
Moved on to another close by with 2 codling 2lb then nowt.
3rd wreck and the tide flooding, I had 2 drops on the same drift, 9lb cod and 7-1/2, I thought, jackpot they're coming on, 5 drifts later with not another fish that thought got shot to bits.
Moved back to the first wreck and got another P, with 2 codling and a ling 6lb.
Sick as a parrot had to head in, half way and the missus called to say not to bother coming home !!
That p!55ed me off, to think I could have had a proper Sesh with the usual suspects.
A good day, patchy sport, 12 fish to keep, nice to hear a few boats reporting Macky. I had 2 bait balls up on the plotter just off one wreck. All fish on shads.
Water was still green algae until 3 mile then it cleared up crystal further out, fog cleared once the sun started smiling.
Roll on the next decent forecast, hopefully the sport has started and will pick up
I hope she has sharpened her filleting knife !
