    Well what a change,for what seamed ages in the cod catch rate over the past few weeks some people were actually catching cod .
    The day started slow with only a few fish being caught in the morning on rough ground and as the wind started to increase , it was very hard to do any wreck fishing,so we continued to use the marks we had on our plotter to target some good ground that produced a good few cod well into the afternoon.
    Most fish caught were from 4.5lb to just over 7lb , but nice fresh cod they were too.
    No sign of any mackerel yet on any of the ground we covered today , but if the cod are late , so must be the mackerel .
    To sum up it was a good day for most on board today ,with over 20+ cod being caught , and me only catching a single cod,as did the skipper .........................Oh and the skipper Lee catching a extra one ........................a large rock...........hahahaha

    We set off at seven sharp, hit a couple of wrecks and fishing was quiet at first and then we manged to find a few on another wreck. There was some nice fish around the 8lb mark and a nice ling at around the 7lb mark. From then on the fishing just got better. We headed out a bit to have look on some ground and ended the day with 48 cod from 2lb upto 9lb mark and a ling 7lb and also some nice 2lb coalies which was nice to see and plenty of other undersize cod and ling returned safely.

    Hi all
    Just a quick report for the bank holiday. Sunday 5th went from mark to mark and wreck to wreck for next to nothing all day until we dropped on to a mark for the last hour. We then got half a dozen cod all around the 3lb mark. Monday 6th
    Went straight back to the last mark from yesterday and started catching cod straight away. All still around 3lb then we had a couple around 4lb. After a couple of hours we decided to have a move, looking for something a little bigger but to no avail. We ended moving back to original mark and started catching cod around the same size plus a small pollock and an octopus! Ended up with 14 cod (+ 4 put back in) 1 pollock, 1 octopus, 5 pouting and the obligatory half doz whiting.
    Hope to see you all soon
    Berney

    The morning started off with a flat sea state as we set off out of the marina , with hardly a breath of wind .
    Stopping at a chosen mark to fill the bait boxes with mackerel,we headed out even further , the very first drop produced a nice Ling for Denis Bray of around 9lb , and a few cod came in , again around the 8-9lb ,as the day got on the wind started to freshen up , and the sea state became choppy , and a little rough ,but this produced some nice fish , and a ling of 19.2oz to David .
    As the afternoon came Lee (skipper ) continued to find the fish, and we were into some good Cod 7-9lb , and Ling into double figures , the fish continued for a couple of hours as we moved around the ground ,by this time the sea was getting a bit on the large side ,and it was getting difficult to hold bottom very well , so we headed back to the marine.
    All in all it was a good days fishing for everyone on board ,and everyone took home fish.
