[b]Report:This was the coldest night i`ve fished in a long time but was hoping the cold spell would bring the cod close in.no such luck! :( we had most of the dogs within the first two hrs but then it died off and we hardly got a bite after that.we finished up with 2 dogs each.very poor fishing but better than staying in. :)

some counting cod just over the 30cm mark were caught on the beach at waterfoot yesterday, and when i seen them i happenned to say to someone that the ledges should throw a few up as you are into deeper water there, but maybe not!!!! :lol: :?

Alright Phil,do the ledges fish better on smaller tides? the tides were quite big on saturday and i was wondering if that had something to do with it cos the conditions were pretty good and the water temp has dropped nicely so i had expected to see a few cod about.never fished there before so i dont know much about it.

i`ll try to get on there again but its a hard place to get on to :roll: .very popular place.

dont think i`ll make it this weekend.is it balintoy? if it is keep an eye out for a string of pots just off the blowhole.i caught it 2 weeks ago and thought i had a bloody good fish on :shock: but it wasn`t to be :evil:
