With the way the wind was blowing I decided to head back to the east last weekend in the hope 🤞of finally catching a cod that was bigger than a fish finger 😁
Alarm set for 3am , gear into the van and set off , I got to my mark at 5am
and set up with my start off lure a 60g razor claw , I had a hit on my first and second cast but it was 3rd cast and fish on 🎣
Nowt spectacular but again the blank was off 👍
In the next hour or so I must of had to hand another twenty or so 🎣
I've been dying to catch a decent cod so a change of tactics was needed, on went a savage gear V2 weedless sandeel in khaki and started jigging across the bottom, I was probably working the lure to quickly for the first 20 minutes as I'd not had a single touch, I then started fishing it really slowly nearly static with very short lifts of the rod then bang fish on 👍 a good 5min scrap and I had the fish at the side and the fish I was waiting for a decent cod of around 4lb but sadly it wasn't to be as it slipped the hook just as I went to pick it up 🤯 that's fishing you win some you loose some 😂
A few cast's later and it was fish on again this time I actually managed to make this one stick and landed it 👍 happy days and my first cod 😁 which was quickly returned 👍
Fished for another 30min and lost another decent fish then I stopped for a coffee and a bite to eat
Few jellyfish about
I decided to have a move and change mark but the one I was intending to fish was bizy so I wandered around and I eventually got onto one I'd previously thought was inaccessible 👍
I stuck to fishing with the savage gear eel and it didn't take long before I was into another decent fish 🎣 happy days 😁 I kept this one which made for a great fish supper with homemade triple cooked chips and mushie peas 🤤👍
I managed another 3 smaller cod which I returned before I hit into another decent fish of around 3lb which I returned ( no photo as I left the camera at my bag )
I did manage another decent fish before it was time to head for home
Another cracking day on the coast for me 👍 and again the learning curve continues 👍
It would be an understatement to say I'm not hooked 😁 hopefully I'll manage to get back out this weekend coming if work don't get in the way 😁
