Adam F Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Apologies for the late report. Last Tues a window finally opened in the weather so Alun and myself opted for a few hours out after a box of whiting, with the chance of a cod. It was only a short trip due to tides and daylight hours but pleasant nonetheless. The wind wasn't quite a low as hoped but wasn't uncomfortable. I've been loath the steam all the way to the island his year, I know if does fish slightly better for cod, but it's still hit and miss and I'm not sure it's worth the 2 hour round trip and 50 quid in diesel, so I opted for a favourite ray mark of mine on the spoils. The whiting where there from the off, but sadly as the tide build they stopped biting but we both had a couple for tea, just not a box full as I'd hoped. Al then had a conger around 30lb, before I followed suit with a double hook up within mins of each other of another similarly sized eel, and a lovely 22lb blonde ray. The tide was too much by early afternoon so we retreated back inshore but as has been the way this year so far the fishing was poor closer in. So not a disaster of a day, no cod, and would have been nice to have seen a few more whiting but still nice to be out. Looks like that was the last trip for 2013. Merry Christmas everyone and tight lines for 2014. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Ark, Maverick Martin, Stuie and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great white Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Thanks for the report Adam Not sure any of us will be fishing on our boats again this year mate, is it inappropriate to mention a certain little Island before the year ends?

Kingfisher 126 Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Hi Charlie, That would be an idea to keep some interest going over the holiday period! It looks dire for the whole break unless there is a god!! Seasons greetings. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
