Sprackles Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I have the Humber Cod Open boat match on sunday...£1000 for single heaviest fish. Cant wait for my day out. Fished last year and fishing was very hard with many not catching anything and others 1 fish only. I got 3 and missed out on the prizes by a few grammes. Was well gutted, if it had been aggregate, would have been well in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandalf Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) After one of the shortest lamping trips I have ever been on - it is now 10.30pm and I am back home for an early night. Pavman decided to pull stumps at 9.15pm (Yes 9.15pm) due to the fact that he was tired and had to get up early for the fishing trip tomorrow! He needs that caravan - it has got nothing to do with holidays - it is just to get him through the working day. (Siestas etc). Age is taking its toll... Co-Coa and slippers by 9... Cat out 9.30... Bed by 10... Asleep at 10.05... Bless him... Edited March 19, 2011 by Grandalf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavman Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 and the 4:30am start sat was all in vain one scabby whiting and a very large pout (which is tonights curry)tried 6 spots and not a codling in sight between our 4 rods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dug some ace bait and did night high water up at Dungie. Full moon, Easterly wind, it had blank written all over it. between six rods we had about a dozen whiting the size of a mars bar (regular size at that). Good laugh with a few mates though so I reckon it was worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 The moon and tides were ideal, but that east wind was the killer. Two friends of mine were on Sandgate beach and they did no better, just one very small dogfish between four rods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey we had cracking weather little or no wind, but the tide time listed by BBC was about 2 hrs wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprackles Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I fished the humber cod open. Sailed along with approx 100 other boats in total for a chance of £1000 + pools for single biggest fish. To say fishing was hard was an understatement. Tides in the Humber are bad enough but with a 7.7, it was screaming through. At the end of the match, only 33 weighed in. I was one of them with 2 fish, the only person on my boat to catch and many other boats not having a bite. Cod of 7lb 5oz and 3lb 10oz. Won a nice Fladen baitcaster reel and an uptide rod. heaviest fish was 10lb 5oz and took away nearly £1500 in total plus other prizes.
