Well it was one of them days that you wish you had just stayed in bed, the day started with very little sleep due to a party next door so up at 5.15am after going to bed at 3.40am...not good start.
Down the marina and out the lock for just after 6 to such a flat sea,no wind and a nice view ahead....
We plugged away taken fish off all marks but nothing over 4lb along with aload of coalie, then the handle on my reel cracked off so that was the end of that combo for the day (have to order a new one)
We headed further out then the power on the dash went off due to a slack wire somewhere under the dash beign knocked, stopped and fixed that the best you could with some tape and a hammer but doing this caused some sort of surge and every fuse blew so no wipers, pumps or nothing....so anger growing and only held back with the thought of leaving the wrecks that i can now not find due to no gps or fish finder and try the millions of cod at that are reported at St Marrys.
Got up there at 10am with about 7 fish already in the hold that included a hard fighting ling of 6lb, over 10 boats fishing already there so i thought fish must be on the feed....wrong just the odd one comming in, i think we took 5-6 codling from here then we headed for home but to be honest the pressure o that one spot means it will soon be wiped out as loads of boats and a 1 mile net will take the lot.
So not the best day but we did manage a fish hold full along with coalie, pouting etc.
My catch 5 codling upto 4lb, 1 ling 5lb1/2 and a laod of coalie.
Cheers Graham and Dave for putting up with me today when things never went well
Everythign sorted now after spending the Sunday finding the tiny wire that had caused such an issue, so all set for the next trip when i get back from my holidays...and to make up for today a trip into the distance is on the cards
