docholiday Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Bad start, very cold last night, froze rowing out to the boat and then the engine would not start, luckily we had just ordered a new engine so rowed down to the marina and asked for some help, (they were not going to say no with us ordering a new 135hp engine) so the mechanic fixed the problem, faulty choke, and off we went. the solent was flat and only a light NE as we went around the needles. More trouble as the anchor pulled out but eventually setled down, Tide was pulling by now so nothing until tide slackened off about 12 ish and we started catching whiting, had 27 altogether kept those between 1 and 2 1/2 lbs, I then lost a cod when the hooks pulled out, but made up for it by catching a 13 1/2 lds cod, thinking this would be it for the day took the photo Just after another good bight and a bit of tug of war and up came this 17 pounder So yet another great day (unless you are a cod) One very happy doc, four cod in two trips. rock and roll :yahoo: doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick miller Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Spot on! You can't beat a bit of sea dangling. You got a couple of nice fish too, which always makes a trip worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchieboy Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Nice one Doc! Obviously your freezer is not only going to be well stocked but there is going to be plenty of variety in it! Going out sea fishing in these temperatures you are obviously made of much sterner stuff than I an mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
