I met with a couple of lads last night for a spot of LRF. The wind direction made it quite difficult with light lures so out came my UL set up 1-11g. We found numerous pollock around the 1lb mark but I was after a cod for the species hunt. I was drifting the lure with tide just letting it bounce over the rocks an kelp while keeping contact. A few small bangs and then I eventually made contact with the typical nod nod and in came a little codling
I had another of similar size shortly after. It then went very quiet with only one of the lads landing a small blenny.
The temperature had dropped and my hands were freezing, last 5 casts i said then am off home. Second off last cast I was hit again and it felt pretty heavy, even took a little line. What appeared was a nice size short spined sea scorpion of around 2lb mark, the lure is 120 mm to put it in perspective.
Another 2 species in the board, am glad I got the cod as believe it or not this was one of my hardest.
