Sudbrook Yesterday .......What a Beaut !

[tommy a]

Fished my local spot yesterday early morning - well 8 through til 11 as this appears about the only time to fish when others arent there !!

Got there set up and looked out with the tide rising fast - a misty old day but with the success at Ladye Bay I was hopefull of some success. Two rods baited up - one sent out a decent way with lug and squid and the other only 40 yards out with rag and squid.

Within 20 mins a nocking on my close rod and after waiting for a bite again I struck and got it right - for once. After a little effort I wound in a loveley 3 pound codling which went home for tea !!

Within the next hour I again had two more codling on the same rod with rag - both caught close in and both giving good value - one was about a 2 pounder and the other a smaller one. Returned for a better and bigger life when we catch them on the boat ina few years ........ !!!

All in all a very good day - in fact my most successful for cod and it was just great - peace and quiet and good fishing. Oh one other thing - two BIG fish jumped about 10 yards in front of me - do cod jump or were they bass / salmon ?

I just hope this continues all through the winter and doesnt stop early - very promising start to the year

Brilliant Tommy,

It must nice to be able to get out and fish......not me work work work

Your fishing luck has changed mate.....just better keep it up for Ireland!

Well done again

Well done Tommy. Still haven't managed to fish there but sounds worth the trip. Home alone in a few weeks so if the tides are right I might go for an evening session. It was crowded on the rocks when I went past this morning! Don't think cod jump as they are normally on the bottom, maybe sea trout?

Nice one tommy,things really seem to be looking good with the cod for the comming winter

[Old Smoothound]

At this time of year they are Salmon Tommy, if small splash then Sea Trout.

Well done Tommy

[Pross]

Off topic sorry but if you were lucky enough to hook into a salmon or sea trout are you allowed to take them when they are caught in an estuary?
