People:me

Duration:7:15pm-9pm

Tide:low @ 9ish

Weather:cloudy,mild

Bait:big rag!

Rigs:fixed pat 3/0 hook

Results:cod.

Catch and Release:: Yes

Report:Started off at Pickie Breakwater but it doesn`t fish too well on a dropping tide so the fishing was pants and i only had one poorcod.

So i packed up and headed for the usual rock mark.First fish came after half an hour and it was a nice red cod of about 2lb.I lost a few rigs and fish before the rod doubled over when i was trying to tighten the line,i actually think my old pike rod couldn`t have bent anymore :shock:The whole time i was reeling in i was hoping for it to be a wrasse but after a few minutes i landed my personal best shore caught cod of 4.6lb

which was almost as good.That was the last fish of the night.

incase you have noticed my grumpy face its cos my camera wouldn`t give me time to smile

Yes, the locality of BANGOR certainly seems to be throwing up some good sport

lovely fish davy! certainly seems like BANGOR is the place to be along the down coast at the minute. haven't fished it in years but i'm starting to get tempted.

I was fishing about 50-60 yards out,its about 80 yards at low tide before you hit clean ground.Its a cracking spot for wrasse,as so much of the bangor marks are.I`ve had half a dozen cod in 4 sessions,most over 2lb,They are a welcome supprise when wrasse fishing
