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!!!!!!

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.
