Dicky Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Friday is only mid size tide so i would of thought would be ok. Don't fish there myself to often but the charters do sometimes, i think mainly on the bigger tides as there will be less tide in the bay. Kayakers were picking up some good cod a from there a few years ago but haven't heard of much lately from them. jonnyswamp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I’ve fished there on springs and been fine. If you head down further west to Selworthy sands you can get a hell of a tide run so not suitbable for springs but in blue anchor it’s mainly coral and some lovely big cod come out of there… Worth sticking a rod out with small hooks as you can get whiting around there and make great livebaits. If you fish with larger fish baits use heavy mono (200lb+ or wire) as should be spurs about there too jonnyswamp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And set the clutch properly. jonnyswamp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
