Report:What a terrible days fishing!
I don't normally do reports as my fishing is fairly average... but I'll stick this up to see if anyone else had the same.
The whole day was spent outside the harbour, we started diving first... viz on the surface was 2m but on the ground it was less than one meter... The diving was nice and refreshing but with such bad viz we decided to get the rods out.
well we tried every known mark and spot that we could all the way from the roches point to the anchorage, pollock rock and in along the shore.
Couldnt get a mackeral for neither love nore money and without the oily scent trail we couldnt catch a single cod.
We tried their usual haunting grounds and then we tried a few wrecks and eventually, cod and tired we called it a day.
We decided for one more drop at east 4 buoy and caught a single lone 2lb codling...
Thinking about it diving and fishing... the water is wayyy to mank for any fish to see further than 50cm so you'd want to hit them on the head with it. Therefore I reckon cod are going hungry and when you land a little bit of peeler from the shore they are coming from miles to scoop it up.
Anyone else had similiar results?
Bad days fishing beats a good days anything else however


One of the lads, kept the cod and coaley they rest went back bar 2 whiting for bait.
