A Tripple personal best
Posted by mick on September 28, 2009

This weekend has seen some excellent fishing but on Sunday a group of anglers from Newcastle between them managed to break three records
after wreck fishing all morning and bagging plenty of nice ling and a few cod I decided to head for the ground and in no time the fish were having it, a cracking ling of 15.2oz came up for young Jack and a personal best for him well done mate,the other anglers heads were down and not wanting to be out done by such a young lad (as they had a sweep going for first and second heaviest fish of the day) the very next drift Wayne fishing at the back of the boat and with a fishing rod about 1 meter long
( no joking the rod had been broken on several previous ocasions,)
hit into a whopper the stumpy little rod with no end eye was nearly bent double the fish gave a good account of it’s self with Wayne puffing like steam boat and eventually up came another two personal bests one for Wayne and another for the new sea urchin 2 a ling of nearly 24lbs
well done lads and I look forward to seeing you all again soon -

This weekend has been a cracker for big cod, on Friday regular local lads Karl and Ken came out with a small group hoping for a few fish and a few personal best’s were well beaten, during the morning mostly small cod and ling were coming aboard and mid day things slowed down because of the size of the tides I guess, then the afternoon brought a second slack and with the sea urchin positioned over a favorite wreck of mine Ken was the first to hit into a fine cod around 12lbs each drift produced more cod around double figures, I then quickly moved the boat over another good wreck which likewise was producing good size cod the last fish of the day fell to Karl which was a personal best for him a cracking cod of 15lb which made his and my day as he only really took up sea fishing last year and has really put the effort in which finally paid off well done mate,
Saturday was a similar day with another local group who were newcomers to my boat and had not been sea fishing for many many years fishing was similar to the previous day with the best times when the tide eased and in the afternoon things really picked up with double figure cod coming aboard now after relating the previous days tale of the 15lb cod one of the anglers Jim I think, hit into a really good fish and he was using one of my hire rods and reels I have started to guess quite acuratley to the size of fish an angler is winding in by the bend in the rod and I said to him take your time this is a nice fish ( in my head I put it around 13lb or so) and as it came up through the crystal clear water I thought good guess until I realised it was still 40 foot down as soon as it hit the surface I knew it was the biggest cod we had seen this year and on the new boat as well a record for the sea urchin and Jim just over 18lb on the boat scales -

Well this week has been a good week all in all with plenty of cod showing on certain wrecks and also a few good days fishing on the ground, the water was beginning to bloom up again which made for hard work inshore, plenty of marks but not easy to catch, had a good day on Friday I think? when local angler Howard gave us all a lesson on how to catch fish, he was taking fish on shad/bait/jigger you name it he could not fail just makes you realise that even when fish are around skill and experience make a hell of a difference,some of the other anglers on board were relative beginners and were it not for Howard filling up they may have returned home thinking there were no fish to be had, still everyone had agreed how nice it was to see double figure fish come aboard,
then Saturday saw a wonderfull weather day at sea, the water was blooming in patches here and there which explained why some marks fished and others zeroed still tortured a few marks which produced more double figured cod see picture Glenn stocks the honary president of the w.c.s.a. who chartered sea urchin II on Saturday,most fish were caught on bait rigs and only one fish fell to the shad? strange how things change on a day to day basis, big ling was noware to be seen this week my best was around 11lb still lots of straps we put back a huge amount, not a lot of whiting say a dozen all week and yes I lost count of the pouting returned, if all the fishing were this productive it would be heaven, still thats fishing.
