Paul i,ve had a day on there like that and its a nightmare. You struggle to hold the bottom with 8oz sinkers.
Last time i went round to the red light,nowt much doing but a million times better.

Hello peeps , you must have went early cos there was five cod taken this afternoon. four of them ranged from 2lb -3lb and the best was off "The Bell" it was 8 1/4 lbs. But yes you are spot on with the wind . Even the breakers were coming over the casing . Poor Bob C got soaked a few times , but his pair of 3lb ders will console him no doubt. We got nowt AGAIN I think it'll be the pond next week . TTFN.......
