    Report on-board Eastern Promise 2

    Well it was Cold!!! But the Cod dis show. 7.00am Start, on a low tide. Out and along to Walton, about 2 miles off shore. A little bit bumpy but still comfortable for fishing.Bites were slow, but a few knocks. And then a Doggie. And then a Whiting. With all 7 of us praying for a Cod. Bites were on and off throughout the Morning, with Dan managing to connect with a nice 6lb Cod, and also a Thornback Ray. A move to another spot to try and find some tide, and bites still on the slow side, but Derek trying to find the fish as always. The another Cod to 6lb,and other smaller stuff. We headed in about 4.15pm, and were all Cold. The final tally for the 7 of us was 9 Cod, Biggest at 6 1/2 lb, and two at 6lb, then some a bit smaller. 2 or 3 Thornback,and a handfull of Whiting and Dogs.The Cod are out there, and we will be back soon. Thanks to Derek for an enjoyable trip as always.
