cod at last

Left Cardiff on the 9 o'clock lock and headed to a mark some 11 miles out. Dropped anchor and baited up with rag and squid. After about an hour without a bite it seemed like the dreaded sprats were filling the cods stomachs again and ignoring our baits. Thinking of where to try next when my rod tip came to life. First blood to me, a small codling about 2.5lb. Only a small one but it beat the blank. Next was Daves turn. A better fight this time and a bend in the rod that told us this was time for the net. Up came this nice 6.5lber.

.

Half an hour later and Dave was at it again. This time the fish was stripping line off his reel. This one came to the net and weighed in at 13.5lb.

.

Sorry about the blur but I was still shaking even though it was HIS fish....lol. Not to be outdone, my turn was next with this lovely 9lb fish caught on slack water.



Dave added another about 2.5lb and it was time to head home. Both the small ones were returned. We got the 5.45 lock back in. Cracking days fishing. Lots of sprats showing on the sounder but only evidence of sprats in one of the fish. I also missed two cracking bites. Still dont know why but thats fishing.
