Walkway 8th Jan

[magpies]

Fished the tide up yesterday and what a pleasure to be out in what felt like spring weather. Small fish picking at baits all session and every cast the tip was nodding. Caught a few little tommies and a rockling (which I would have left out for an hour if I had known what it was). Stuck at it on big baits - yellows/blacks/frozen crab and got a half decent codling just after half tide which made a splendid supper. Glad to say there wasn't too much rubbish around but I cleared up what I saw. Someone had left a baited hand line hanging from the railings which I have to say I don't approve of. Met a lad who is up from Anglesey and we had some good craic about the fishing down there.

Sound like you had a busy session mate well done on getting 1 sized fish out

Thanks mate, forgot to say one of the other lads on the walkway caught a little pinky coloured fish like a cross between an eel and a lamprey. Could have been a hagfish ? First time I have ever seen one of those.

Nice codling mate. Yeah that sounds like a hagfish. Although it has "fish" in the name it's not actually fish at all but is an invertebrate. Horrible things.

Well done for picking up the other anglers rubbish. I to find myself cleaning up what other anglers have left and cutting up disgarded line. At least you were rewarded with a codling.
