Report: had been looking forward to getting out all week, collected bait
packed up the jeep and headed off, when i got there it was pitch black, blowing
a gale and raining. set up and stuck on the new imax float suit, was roasting
after about ten minutes, (but its better than being cold and wet). chatting to
some other lads who'd been there all day and seemed that it was going to be a
slow night. but i stuck on the bell on to help with bite detection cos of the winds
started off with the small cod then whitting, slowed a bit then small coalies, decent
cod then the big coalie a decent codling then the rest. not a bad night after
all and signs are good as the cod have finally started to show

how big were the codling

Well done.. Its always good to catch a few fish..

codling were between 8 and 13/14 inches, very lean fish not fat enough to keep so they all went back, although i dont usually keep anything as i dont eat fish.

well done minty. i see mother nature did'nt put you off then this weathers been a bit insane lately but i guess we all need to get our fishing fix

Well done minty, a long solo session there, nice to see you got a few nice fish in the end .

good to hear the codling are getting bigger good result
