STINGRAY big cod catch report 11.08.08

[northeast1]

Well set off at 7.30am this morning with the weather against us from the start, tried some 4mile wrecks but only pulled in a small ling and a codling so headed off to a 9mile wreck that i have never fished before...it paid for it's self in the end.

Hard drifting at 1.2-1.7 all day that far out and with the wind building but held out and ended up with 11 cod the best for myself at 18lb 4oz arm breaker and 3 ling best just under 9lb, also had 4 whiting and only 9 mackerel...not many out there now

My mate had mackerel, whiting,coalie and 1 codling but it was only his 2nd boat trip ever.

It was caught on a pirk, had 6 cod on 4 drifts before that one then after that one not 1 fish more from that wreck lol. Its abit far and on its own to try often so will leave that one along for a few weeks.

I'm cleverer than that, I can loose 6 pirks in 4 drifts
