waterfoot pier

#1 Post by minty »

People:just me

Duration:6-12.30am

Tide:high-dropping

Weather:crap

Bait:rag squid

Rigs:wishbone and 2 hook flapper

Results:1 small whitting ,3 coalies ( 6-16 inches), 5 codling (8-13 inches )




Report: had been looking forward to getting out all week, collected bait
packed up the jeep and headed off, when i got there it was pitch black, blowing
a gale and raining. set up and stuck on the new imax float suit, was roasting
after about ten minutes, (but its better than being cold and wet). chatting to
some other lads who'd been there all day and seemed that it was going to be a
slow night. but i stuck on the bell on to help with bite detection cos of the winds
started off with the small cod then whitting, slowed a bit then small coalies, decent
cod then the big coalie :D :D a decent codling then the rest. not a bad night after
all and signs are good as the cod have finally started to show
some times catching crabs is a good thing.........or is it...........?

codling were between 8 and 13/14 inches, very lean fish not fat enough to keep so they all went back, although i dont usually keep anything as i dont eat fish. :mrgreen:
