Paul D Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Got a trip on Manta Ray on Sunday along with some guys from work. Planning on going to the car park out to the Needles, hoping the wind stays from the north. Just busy waterproofing my flotation suit as suspect it will need to be rainproof ! Have stocked up with Cuttle from CAC and unwashed squid, hopefully will be able to find the elusive cod as haven't caught one for over a year now ( although actually getting out fishing helps ) niggle and Jim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul D Posted November 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Caught a nice Undulate Ray and lost an eel due to poor knot tying on my part Was hard fishing but one of my work colleagues managed a nice sized cod in the afternoon. Ripped down all day but usual banter on Manta Ray made for a fun day. Back out tomorrow ( wed ) as got week off, so cod attempt 3 ....

Paul D Posted November 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Wasn't the leader, it was the hook knot which came undone - only myself to blame. Was a good fish but was fighting more Eel like than Cod as it header downtide at a fast rate of knots. No head shaking. niggle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
