Shady catch report 5/7/08
Well as already said by Norman in his post it was a little choppy to say the least ! 
Me,Keith,Kyle ,and birthday boy Kenny had a little look in amongst the big swells today ,,,,,and it was bumpy big time
We tried a few of the usual hot spots but nothing was catching
.So headed out 3 mile to a known fish producer where we met up with Norman for breakfast (CHEERS)
Did not venture any further all morning ,Well until we headed back to the moorings at 9.00am,But we stuck it out with on average a fish a drift with lots others lost because of the very fast drift ! wind one way and tide the other = not good fishing conditions
But with the amount of fish being lost i thought it was worth while trying different drifts each side of the wreck (without a fish finder !!) till we started to hook a couple, the fish that we caught were all of good stamp ranging from 4lb to 8lb !
Then a few of the lads turned up so fresh bait was the order of the day !
It was take after take of lost fish with the occasional hook up
We ended up with 16 good cod and 5 ling for ower troubles today and believe me it was fookin hard work !!!
Got back at 9.00am did a little maintenance work the had a little lift of a few rocks to end up with a little fresh bait for the comp next week
Sorry no photos this week as all my crew were asleep

. As you say very hard work reeling against that drfit & tide with lots of line teased out to hold bottom. 
not bad for 20 mins rummage in the rocks.
