hi mate
what boat are you going out on? and from where?

it's a 4.4 tide 1st high water is at approx 08.15, 1st low water 14.10 1.3

i would be tempted to fish for cod in the morning and whiting at slack water

as for bait most skippers would recomend squid and large 8/0 hooks for cod

went fishing out of eastbourne the other weekend, had alot of whiting on 3/0 hokkia traces using rag and slithers of squid

hope this is of use to you.

The Forum Peeps met up and went out on Nov 7th, no Cod caught, but we did catch loads of Dowgeeeez, some scad, a late Tope, Gurnard etc.

Using Cuttle fish, squid, mackerel, peeler, rag worm kitchen sink....... but still noooo Cod.

They may be there this week.... but one dinghy angler reported by mobile phone that he had caught a 15lber not far from the shore.
