Well doing a one off report to cheer people up after what has been a poor start to the season for many.
Had my eye on this window aka break in the weather and at 1am i decided its a go, so after a 13hr nightshift headed straight down the amrina and on the first wreck by 07.15.
The sea was canny until about 1pm with a slow drift and little chop
First wreck was jam packed with coalie and i mean jam packed 2-3 at a time every drop no matter what you used, some touching 2lb, the odd time i got through them i picked up a couple of cod around 3lb good start.
Headed to the next wreck and picked up a few more cod to 5lb and 2 pollack both around 5lb also
Headed further out and a couple more cod then hit one more wreck and expected coalie when i seen the fish finder but it was a shoal of cod feeding jsut off the wreck, they came in 2 at a time with many small ones but in total i had 26 between 3lb and 6lb with 19 undersize ones going back, all taken on daylights and pirks.
At 10am i started chucking them back, something i had never thought would happen before hand.
If i was to pick a down side it was i never got any mackerel but for 4hrs out fishing and if you include the coalie and smaller cod had around 80 fish its not abd.
Shame that window was shut by the time i got between the piers with that NE wind blowing up hard
