docholiday Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Well this year is turning out to be a good one for the cod down here in the Solent and around the needles, the weather has played ball and I have had 7 trips and 6 cod, two of us had 4 cod in the solent last night,got home at 3 am. Fish are "small" but looking good for the rest of the season. All were taken on squid baits in varrying depths from 50 foot to 120 foot.

fenboy Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Some nice fish , I can remember the days when the needles use to throw up some huge cod, sadly like most places the quality of the fish is not the same but cod do seem on the up at the moment so fingers crossed for the future.

Cranfield Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Congrats on some quality fish and its good to hear that there are some about this year. I fished the Needles a few times in the '60's and '70's, when the really big doubles were about and it could get a bit congested out there.

Its fishing better this year than the last ten for shore, can still be a few boats out there, if its a sunny calm sunday on a neap tide there can be up to 70 odd boats bobbing around, though last night up the solent there was just two boats fishing all night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to fish the wall on a regular basis a few years ago, never caught much apart from whiting and very small codling, but there are reports it should fish well this year.
