Report:yeap you newer know what you catch next...it was ONE OF THEM DAYS for me,and don't push your brain trying to get back then you had your best session....its close but its not about that, just last night i was caught in the middle of ONE OF THEM DAYS meeting another ONE OF THEM....but this one puts a stamp on a day -you don't wanna talk or remember about...so what happened was i went to my mark set up ...all as usual,during a day small whiting,dabs all small stuff plenty of action,kept few whiting for dead baiting ,once started to become darker and darker ...and whats came to me attention that all smalls were just gone... launched dead-bait...40 min 2 mad runs-nothing,went to pulleys size 2 hooks,first flays out...20 min-rod nearly of the tripod-lost it on the way...here it goes size 3....same thing baits every 15-20 min,more heavy than a fight on the line and all gone before i could even recognize it,few fish\really puted nice C curve on my rod so i was going against cod,so i thought and i was right , well as much as i saw...two from about 9-12 fishes who try ed my nerves and laugh to my face,were reeled in as the rod lenght,so i spotted whiting ,i think he would be around 2 lb mark and the second fish give up him self as far as the "step" 2-3 met-res from the
"sure landed" place and its the Mr itself 5-6 lb cod...as soon as i saw him hi put huge smile on me face and the same second
he was gone ..in total that night the only fish that i landed and dragged to beach buddy (20 met-res away from the sea just in case) was starrysmoothound (now think how unlucky this guy was :D ) not any size bout 55 cm, but the fact.....snoods ok, hooks mainly new...sharp,i went as far as pennel with 2 hooks of size 4,varivas for crab,has little spike on the body which not only holds but stops bait spinning around hook, so really couldn't find any wrong....so it has to be ONE but ANOTHER of them days
any thoughts?suggest welcome
