Bloody Wind - but still a catch report

[jason]

Well most things went according to plan but one thing you can not change is the weather, the forecast changed over night and after leaving Whitby just before 8 we got to the 4 mile mark and was greeted by white horses all over the place with a freshening wind, a quick change of plan was needed and it was decided to stay on the 4 mile limit due to the worsening weather. The drift was horendous and you constantly had to feed line out to keep in touch with the bottom.

plugged away for a few hours and I ended up with 5 cod between 4lb and 6lb and a ling. By about half 12 the drift was just too fast to hold the bottom even with over a lb of lead so the unanimous decision was made to return to port.

all in all a bonus day for me - out in January and managed a few fish for tea.

all the best

Well done, nice to read a catch report in the boat section at long last.

I know you shouldn't wish your life away but I wish it was spring already

Nice one, five good fish for a morning's work is a cracking result, especially at this time of year. What did you get them on?

Nice one Jason.

Fresh fish in January - always a bonus...got a few remnants of last seasons catch to get rid of...and a new fridge freezer with more space to fill up when the season starts afresh
