Exmouth to Poole - Summer cod

tommy a · #1 01-12-2010, 08:59 PM

Just wandered if anyone has any idea how long it takes a charter to get from Exmouth to the Brittle Star Grounds off Poole - where the summer cod fishing was amazing last summer ? Do any charters from Exmouth or Dartmouth bother going to this area for the cod - I know Shande had an excellent cod day with Drew and Daryl on board in the summer but I dont think that was in this area - was it a wreck Drew ?

Just interested to try and get some good cod action in the summer.

Do the Poole Charter Boats go there?

Hi Tommy,

It is about 72 miles from Exmouth to the Brittle Star Grounds, a little too far to travel on a charter boat.

I'm sure you've thought of this but it would probably be better driving to Weymouth or Poole and getting a charter from there.

"was it a wreck Drew ?"

Hi Tommy,

From what I recollect, no, it was rough ground. We were using lures, hitting the bottom and winding 5 turns and then bottom again.

Perhaps if Darrel reads this he will clarify the situation.

Drew

Hi Guys, we were fishing some of the wrecks Shande usually fishes on his way to Alderney. Its a bit of a trek out & back but although they are not always succesful i can't complain. And if my memory serves me well i even caught a couple for the skipper and that doesn't happen often. I have heard the needdles is fishing very well at the moment.

I have had a couple of trips out in the last two months, a couple of average sized pollock etc.

Hopefully will get to meet you Tommy in 2010, once the dreaded redunancies finish at work and if i still have a job i will plan a couple of trips with Shande, maybe a pollock trip at the end of Feb, i'll let you know.

regards

Darrel
