Just to put things in perspective after all the great catch reports of late , I went out this morning expecting the usual great day out fishing I've been having lately , the plan was to hit a few wrecks and maybe the hard ground around Boulmer , first wreck was 4 miles out and another boat was already fishing there , I stopped by but didn't fish and headed out to some further afield , the sea was not friendly , not bad or dangerous , just awkward , fast drift , hard to set up , bumpy swell every few minutes , not a lot of fun.
I decided a BIG wreck would be easier to set the drift up on and headed for one that has produced some good results this year for me , a couple of drifts over that at warp speed and one bumped off fish had me heading for the hard ground. The route to the hard ground took me past the first wreck which still had the same boat fishing there , they'd had about 30 cod so far
I motored over to Boulmer , there were quite a few boats about for a weekday so I expected fish , and got them ........... mackerel , coalies and small codling by the bucketload (jcb bucket) if I dropped a hokkai rig over the side , and small codling on shads dragged over the ground.
It was cold , I had to put a coat on yet I got burned by the sun , I gave up about 2pm and came home dejected and dissapointed , I put it down to biorythms , mine must be on the ebb just now, but hey , next week they will be on the flood and I'll be posting a catch report like Richys
