Headed to the pier for 11am and met up with Fishingmark and a few other Nesa members who were already down on the 45 and 44 mark. Few fish between them, mark caught a nice little pollock as I was setting up. First chuck and had the butt of my rod lifted clear of the floor with a bite... Wound into it and a nice 42cm (ish, it was a wee but longer than marks measure on the top of the box) codling. Guesstimate about 2lb, maybe a little more. Second decent codling off the 44 in my last two trips. Managed another 5 out but all smaller, one was about sized but put all of them back to grow a bit bigger. All taken on fresh crab. Not a touch on my plaice rod although bestnest (stevo) fishing a few yards from me had two plaice out before I arrived. A few other fish about including one for barnacle bill which was just short of 3lb. Lovely day to be out, back home for a BBQ and beer! The way my codling fishing has gone last two trips roll on the winter!

Too right Andy! 3 keepers in the last 2 trips... That's better than I do in winter! Had a good trip out finished off with an hour on the lawn with the baby, a BBQ and now some more beer! That's why I love the summer!

Codling all day Marc, non stop action with them. My best was 3lb 2oz, great day, made up for a poor weekend for me.
