Out last night ,first since Christmas Eve,fished 8 till midnight.nothing for the first hour and a half then 4 codling 4.5,6,7.25 and2.5lb then nothing more same thing happened last time I tried that mark all fish caught around two hours after high tide in exactly the same spot. Bait was cart wing on a piece of mackerel.One thing last night all the fish swallowed the baits backwards the pennel hook was in the gut and the main hook was at the front of the mouth,all the fish had empty stomachs maybe that’s the explanation.Don’t normally use a pennel hook but was using larger than normal baits about 4in by 2in last night as casting distance was not far ,40yds ample.

Great effort mate, well done. Surprises a lot of folk how close to the shoreline the cod will hunt for food when conditions are favourable. Looks like some decent northerly weather for the next few days so hope to read more cracking reports from you. Keep up the good work!

Well that’s me just back from four hours fishing,sea was almost flat just a little colour.Only the one tonight but it was 8.5lb.I lost a hook snood an hour before i caught the fish and that was in its stomach with the line sticking out of its mouth,it must have liked the cart sausage with a bit of mackie

Well done sir, that’s a quality cod - pity the sea wasn’t a bit more lively.
