JDP Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Frigin bulged disk has popped out again, not sure how the weekend fish will go or the midweek stuff. Its funny though as I consider getting the boat on the water and the species I target offshore far less work than hooking something off the beach. When you've had a bad back you soon realise how hard fighting fish with long beach rods is!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About as far as the post office would be a good starter. Don’t over do it carrying stuff though, get yourself one of those tartan granny trolleys to save straining yourself.

Obviously, I didn't miss much by not going out on Monday ! March can be a very strange time of the year when wrecking ........... we call it 'the all or nothing month' I am getting a few reports of Cod showing on some of the 15 mile wrecks, fish to 15lb, but not in any numbers. Also, the Plaice are showing on the Skerries. jonnyswamp and Andy135 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike farrants Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 no boating for me this weekend - wind too strong and from the east. saturday gardening - sunday fishing form the shore - or some boat maintenance (cleaning etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyswamp Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 No fishing for me for the foreseeable either, daughter no2 has bought a house and has decided the layout of the rooms upstairs need altering Been knocking down black ash blockwork and coming home looking like Al Johnson Busy in work for the next couple of weeks, so no mooching off to go fishing midweek either by the looks Never mind, once she's gone there's just one left to go, but she's dug in like an Alabama tick and unlikely to be flying the nest anytime soon Geoff, GPSguru and suzook12 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy135 Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 No fishing for me either this weekend as I'll be mostly ripping out moth-eaten carpets, repainting walls and throwing out a knackered gas barbecue that the previous owners "forgot" to take with them...

It is usually a quiet time from the end of February to May so not many codling about but what are about are usually feasting on sprats and herring and any pollock will either be spawning or ready to so I won't target them. I will try for herring and might see if there is an early plaice about. If I do then it will probably mean I am going to get lots of whiting 😅 Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malc Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Managed a tiny dab but couldn't connect with any bites as I suspect they were tiny and I was just lucky with the first one. Got bored so I peddled another mile out and got a 4lb codling that was a bit thin on the first drop and eventually another slightly smaller. I also think that there was an octopus grabbing my lure for a minute or so, just a heavy pull then as I wound into it the lure was let go and it happened several times. Stunning sunny day and negligible swell, lots of 3 inch sandeel in the shallows and a few baitfish shoals about. Hope the summer has plenty of calm days like that! EDIT! All fish returned!
