Some nice cod caught today

[wildcard]

Four of us fished today on my ex swiftcat and it was one of the best days I can remember. The new owner Dave Bruce and his friends Andrew Kitching, Neil Arnaud and myself opted for an early start - and we weren't disappointed. We normally only fish wrecks but had heard there were fish on the 9 mile ground so Davey thought he would have an easy day drifting the rough ground.

The fish were there in abundance, but the average stamp was small. Cod up to 5lb were everywhere. The sport was fantastic though with a fish a drop, but they all went back. A move was called for.

Back to what we do best then - wreck drift fishing for cod :exclam:

All I can say is the session that followed was one of the best I can remember.

The blues brothers. Neil on the left with Andrew on the right. This fish was Andrews 2nd 16lber.

Neil with a cod of 14.5lb. Dave with one of 18lb and Andrew with his second 16lb fish - all caught on the same drop.

Me with a nice cod.

Andrew with a bonus pair of double figure pollock.

Dave with the sweep winning cod of 18lb.

The stamp of fish was superb, and many double figure cod were landed, with only a few ling.

Fantastic sport from the port of Hartlepool.
