Forecast was a force 5, a bit chilly first thing but turned into a smashing day, wind died away and the sea flattened out quite a bit as the day went on.
First fish came aboard within minutes of dropping the bait, double squid or at least three if they were on the small side.
First fish was a very plump 13lb. Cod, the lead must have nearly hit it on the head the bite was that fast after gettint to the bottom. Half an hour later the second fish fell to the same guy, smaller fish of around 8lb. but a Cod none the less. That was it apart from the bvious L.S.D. until slack water when the Conger came onto the feed. First blood to the Skipper, nice fish of around 30/35lb. Another three were to follow, a couple of high teens and the last was a strap.
As the tide picked up again the Cod came back on the feed, I lost one then another was lost by another guy.
One more was landed before I got a second chance litterally on the last drop of the day, a fish of about 7/8lb.
Grand total for the day 4 Cod, 4 Conger, 1 Pout and endless L.S.Ds.
Just nice to get out fishing.
