Hi Peeps,
Well with all my fishing plans shot to pieces the last few weeks with xmas,new year and the wind i was gagging to get out,so arrived at the corner for 5am this morning.Got set up with 2 rods usual tactics codling or bust so pulley rigs,rotters and big baits lug/squid,lug crab thingytails.It was an hour in to the flood when i started so was expecting some action ,however things were slow and i was getting knocks of small stuff,then eventually one hung itself.................
I carried on and around 6am the cod meister arrived Kev as you may know him.It wasnt long before he was into a fish....
Oh dear was this the size of things to come......Kev assured me that as soon as dawn broke we would be into better fish,and to be honest he`s usually right so i was still hopeful.Low and behold as light broke he was off again.......
Getting bigger but still no good lol....ah well it was good to be out again we carried on.Not long after i had a nice two nodder and struck into what felt much better,it stayed deep all the way in and when i tried to lift it weed had stuck on my leader knot and jammed in the tip ring, so Kev did the honours with his drop net and i hand balled it into it,cheers kev.Happy new year and a new PB for me 57cm and weighed 4lb6oz was well chuffed.........
We both missed a few bites and i had fish on but lost it to the snags,then i had another dab...kev had one as well so with no takers for him we kept them to keep him fed lol......he even scaled down on one rod in attempt for more and was rewarded with a double shot..............Whiting and dab.
I had an undersize codling then as the tide turned me moved of the corner to the main prom to fish on for a bit,whilst i was baiting up kev noticed his line slack and struck into a better fish resulting in this.......................
At long last a taker for him weighing in at 3lb3oz..happy new year to you kev we were both happy now.We gave it until 1pm then left to meet mal at eastham,where i watched the lads for a half hour then went home.First session of 2012 and it was a fairly good one plenty of action , two nice takers and a new pb for me,was nice to see Mal as well and i hope they had a few fish at eastham.
