Night 1
17/10/2012
Team:
Me
Paul (hodgey)
Neil
Got down to the hallowed ground of Dungeness by 17:30 and as soon as i had turned up Neil and Paul pulled up next to me at the end of the concrete road at the point quick shake of hands and got the gear out of the cars and made our way over the beach to our chosen spots. Water looked like chocolate soup and there was plenty of swell so was really looking forward to a long nights fishing. Wasnt long before had rigs batted up and out in the water. Bait used was lug and cuttle, Fished the tide right down and back up catching ting all the way. about 2 hours before high Paul was chatting to me ( putting the worlds to right and all that ) then went back to his rods started reeling in and started shouting and jumping up and down yes yes Ive got one he was shouting went over and there it was target fish COD(ling) 3.75lb of pure sexy fish.

Soon after I herd Paul shouting again I thought to myself not another one went over to see a funny sight Paul halfway down the beach holding 2 rods shouting help help Neil took one off him and Paul saying I think there is a cod on his one but ended up being he had caught his other line oh well better luck next time. About a hour before high I cast out put the rod back down on the rest and started to bait up the rig I just took off looked up and line was slack I was thinking maybe weed as the waves where at least 10ft high and lots of force so reeled in the slack and watched it go instantly slack again so lifted up in to it thump thump it was off down tide nothing was stopping it so walking with it reeling in as much as possible and letting it go where it wants I was soon in front of where Paul was fishing Paul came running over to see if I needed a hand so he helped get the fish on to the beach using a nice big wave and as the water went away I could see a massive head and there in was my shore PB. 15.2lbs of pure COD, ok it is a bit one the skinny side but it was lovely to hold and see such a big fish. When unhooking it had gone for a small ting that we think was round the hook bait nibbling but not hooked and the cod just came and hovered up the lot and got its self hooked as the ting came out still alive and no hook marks on it.

Got down to same place as night before Paul and Neil where already there so set up next to them again really quickly cast out and this is how the night went ting, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting, porpoise, ting, ting, ting. I heard of a few fish coming out up towards the boats I know zipplex had one and a guy from Ashford had one so they are there but the colour is dropping out now so I think it will become harder and harder until we have another blow. Over all a good 2 nights of fishing and Paul have a good holiday and catch some big fish!
tight lines everyone
