People:Me, Nephew & Brother in Law
Duration:6 hrs
Tide:Mid to Low and Back to Mid
Weather:Fresh SE
Bait:Frozen Crab and Razor
Rigs:40/Pulley Pennel
Results:2 Coalies
Report:Thought i would give the cod a go given the break in the recent bad weather we have had. Got to the mark about mid tide on the drop, not the ideal time for this mark but thought it was worth a shot. 30 mins in i had a decent bite but couldnt connect with the fish. It was very quiet until low water at which point i managed to land a 34 cm coalie, which was returned unharmed.
There were quite e few lads at the mark but i only saw one other fish landed, looked to be a small whiting. 2 hrs into the flood i decided to change bait and felt what i thought was weed on the line. Turned out to be another coalie that was foul hooked in the belly. Unfortunatly for him he was i in too poor a condition to return and he ended up coming home with me. The other two lads never even had a bite in the 6 hrs so i was lucky to have landed anything at all.
So no Cod this time but at least i dodged the dreaded blank.

Well done getting a couple of fish, The xmas storms seemed to have scattered the fish.
