(I will start this by saying well done to Jason and Dave and that i had one of them days today..a off day)
With work on Sunday i had planned to make the most of today, met Jason and cou's Dave down the marina for a 12 hour sesh today. We set off full of hope after seeing the sea was a lazy swell but well fishable.
After a great trip i was torn about what to do, due to the number of boats on some of my Fav wrecks i opted to try a few others in a different location and a couple of new marks.
First wreck we took 2 ling to 7lb and 1 codling along with the now pest mackerel, we plugged away but noit a great deal doing so we set about moving wrecks but not before i put the breakfast on at 7.30am
So with full bellys we headed around the wrecks taken many and i mean many 3-5lb cod...like catching mackerel sometimes before Jason's rod goes over and up comes a new PB for him of just over 16lb
Followed by me with one of the biggest coalie i ahve caught then it was Daves turn, this is Daves 8th ever boat trip and i ahd promised him a double cod and ling before we go away on holiday in a few weeks, he got his ling on his 3rd trip and today he landed a 10lb 7oz cod for a new PB followed 10mins later by a PB of 14lb 5oz ocd..he was well chuffed and stopped fishing after that for the rest of the day instead sun bathing.
Me and Jason plugged away and as i said at the start i had one of them days, leaving my pirks at home, falling over on the boat, dropping a 12lber on the surface for me and losing a record set of gear for a single trip so i am gald to say Jason took the slack up landing a further 4 doubles of 10.8, 14,14.8 and 15.6 all cod.
So a great day had by all topped off with a MASSIVE whale 80 yards away from us blowing water in the air, we missed a photo opp and once it dived it was gone for the rest of the day...great big black backed whale (any ideas)
We ended the day with 7 DOUBLE COD 10.8oz-16+ and around 65 cod and ling between 3lb and 8lb along with coalie and mackerel
So as i posted a few days ago, seems to be alot of doubles on many wrecks this year...BIG well done to the crew for beating the PB today and a great day had by all.
All but the 7 pigs and a couple of 3-5lb cod kept, the rest went back to fight and become pigs
