Popular Post Malc Posted June 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2023 A late kick off into a slight sea to lure fish for codling. We tried for mackerel outside the piers but no one was catching, probably due to recent rain so we headed out to our chosen spot. Wind against tide gave us slight offshore drifts and we soon had codling on soft plastic lures of all shapes and sizes. We seemed to pass small shoals and then barren sea. A few small pollock to 2lb and the codling from fish finger to a couple of pounds with some bigger among them. There was a pan-pan which we listened to as we were a few miles away from, a yacht with no engine to get into harbour but the lifeboat took her in. We decided to visit a local wreck we had tried to anchor earlier in the year and lies E-W and first drift the skipper got a good fish on a 10gm rod that would have been around 8lb, quick snap shot and back to breed more, while I hooked a line as I reeled in to get the landing net! A couple of drifts on or around it, with a couple of fish, and then we get well placed and drift the full length of her but the tide was very near slack and we drifted too slowly so nothing else so we headed home. Lots of banter, some dolphin, a salmon leaping close enough to startle the gulls on the water and a fair amount of marine traffic including HMS Albion. No fishy photos so it didn't happen. Not the Albion, City of Rotterdam Saintly Fish, thejollysinker, mick and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
