Bit of a late report again lol.
We headed out about 06.30 on Sunday morning, a bit concerned that the fog would be to thick , but on leaving the lock gates it was'nt to bad and was'nt for most of the morning but it got a bit dodgy after dinner, especially closer inshore.
To make up for the fog the sea was fairly flatish so that was a bonus lol.
Our usuall wrecks were'nt producing the fish so we had to work hard trying alot of marks and plotting out some new wrecks.
The final tally was around a dozen codling from 3-8 lb, some coley's (unusuall for us), whiteys, pouting, a little wolf fish and a few mackerel.
Most fish, especially the decent ones were caught by me dad, showing me how to go on again lol.
We found and plotted out a tiny little wreck now named "wolf wreck"
One of the bigger cod, but this one had a strange red rash ?
One of our favourite wrecks (that is now barron) had changed alot, was half the size and partly covered in sand or silt. While we were on it two different big trawlers came right past us and even stopped less than 100ft off us to pull the catch in. Seen alot of trawlers about lately.
Wonder if they are powerfull enough to trawl over the wreck and flatten it out. They came close enough with their gear down. Same spot we first seen the two larger boats pair trawling earlier.
Supppose I have to blame someone lol.
Anyway we came back happy with the few codling that we kept.
