With a bit of leave to use, an up and comming Skate trip and forecasted bad weekend i thought i would chance my luck for a short sesh today. Rang Graham up (bigsid) and as always Graham was as ready as i was to get on the boat.
Met down the marina at 7am and it was hissing it down but little wind so we started making our way up the river. First stop close in for one drop with crab, no bites so headed off and joined the JFK on a wreck.
Now this pic may look out of focus but it was all the mist and rain, when we drifted about 300 yards apart you could not make out anything but a shape.
So we dropped down and i was first into fish with the first and only mackerel of the day, folowed by Graham with a full house of coalie then after that it was coalie a drop every drop, so we moved a couple of mile further out. Nothing on twin tails, pirks and bait but was suprised the water was clear(ish) and the rain ahd stopped by this point but the wind was now blowing abit.
We moved around a few wrecks until at last i landed a 7lb on frozen mackerel. (weather beaten)
After that we gave up on the wrecks as wind and tide was making the drift 1.4-2.2 and just not worth the bother so we moved to the yellow can. After a coule of drifts Graham landed the 1st keeper cod of about 3lb but that was it, we kept moving arond and hunting them out but nothing big for the pot would bite.
The wind started and got upto at least 30mph from the south making for a hard ride home.
We ended the day with a keeer fish each and loads of smaller ones chucked back, well weather beaten but at least we wet aline as this weekend is a no go for sure.
