Greedy blighter

Eyes bigger than its belly.

Little codling caught on whole squid.

Cor that was a cold one.

Right from the off little codling were on the feed.

These were caught on a Pulley Wishbone rig

For a change this small container ship

passed by from Avonmouth docks.

A total of 14 codling were caught none bigger than these.

Baits used were Lug, Rag, Squid and a secret
special f!!h bait. My son said I have to keep it a secret.

It didn't work!!!!!!

06-02-10

Fished the Cottage today

High tide was at 11.56 and 11.3mtrs

Started 08.20 and finished 13.30.

Small codling were the order of the AGAIN!

This was the second fish caught on a wishbone pulley rig

baited with lug.

They are getting a bit bigger.

At high tide I was pushed back to the weed line.
12mtr tides get to the bottom of the ledge.

Three hours before high tide the gully is just visible.
It is made up of pebbles and the odd larger
going on to mud shingle. At around 100mtrs

there is a drop off which kills rigs, they never come back.

This old Lifeboat came storming by.

Bit Smokey

Conger spot 11-01-10

High at 16.13 and 10.5mtrs.

He managed well over 150yrds.

Second Severn Crossing in the mist.

Me modeling my Sundridge SAS MK 6 Floatation Suit

Chrissy pressy from the good lady and Russell.

It was so warm I soon took it off.

Iceicles

and ice made the trip more interesting.

Slush Puppy any one,
This was the sea climbing up the bank or should I say

Ice.

2010 First trip

This was seen that greated myself and Russell.

Ice, Ice and snow.

There was ice flows and slush for up to 10mtrs. Cool?!

Wales looked very white as well

Snow every where but what a sight.

We arrived at Rockingham at 10.00,

the high tide was at 11.50 and 12.2mtrs.

We took Rag Squid and Mackeral
but only used rag.

First cast for me produced a small Codling.

Long cast produced very little activity.

So I set up a rod and cast out around 30 - 40 mtrs

and very quickly a Flounder was on the snow.
About 45 minutes later I had another, dinner for me and she who must be obeyed.

Russell managed a small Codling and a Flounder.
He did manage some good cast, pushing 150 - 200yrds.

The day was great, not as cold as it looks
with light wind and very good company.

Ladye Bay 26-12-09

Went to Ladye Bay Ledges with Russell.

Useing Rag, Squid, Mackeral we managed to catch

small Codling and Whiting

The sea was calm but a brease from the south

was a little chilly
Russell concentrating very hard and
wishing he could get a good fish.
Don't we all.

Baits used were Whole Squid and Rag worm

Nothing over 5 inches was caught.
