Fished 3 up 2 down today. Started on the south east corner then moved to brass ball on tide turning. Had whiting dab and me 1 st dogfish. No cod tho!!! Got to give me new rod a blast and it was ideal. Casts a dream... Even on the not so perfect conditions! Seen a nice 7lb cod pulled in then jst as I was leaving another about 3lb I'd guess as i was a Amy distance away. Canny day out, wind spoilt it abit, as it limited the places to fish...
 
Well done mate, im itching to get out but gonna hold off for a couple more days. Nice on catching the doggy, bet every ones away after hearing about a 7lber Lol.
 
Aye the cod are coming in now. There was an 8lber caught on Saturday morning too I helped the lad get it over the wall it was a beauty.
