Tips On Cod Fishing

[skippytheroo]

Im a big hook guy too...I put 2 5/0's in a pennel is that greedy

All the cod ive caught have huge mouths and even my big biats are dwarfed in their mouths even the little 2 and 3 lber's

I think that's about right for Cod or Bass, and Conger, with a wire trace of course.

plenty lug dug and some rigs made up

 

paternosters pennel rigged and

 

pulley pennels mixture if sizes of hooks

 

off tomorrow night with barry scholes and one of his sons so will report back

 

may end up being haddock we catch as they are seeming to be at the mark we plan to hit

 

but hey fishing is fishing

 

hope for the odd fish or two but to get out and wet a line will be great

Hi Andrew the very best of luck to you , at least you have thought it through and taken advice. Let us know how you go.

I would really like to know some places to try as the pier at Cairnryan is the only place I know down near you.

I am going to try the Cree estuary at Creetown sometime soon , Let me know if you fancy it.

4/0 or 5/0 hook and a big bait. Pennel rig with a squid/lug combo or squid/mussel combo

 

Best of luck

 

Actually caught my first cod of the winter season yesterday, I was fishing in FastD's boat.

 

Ask him where the plug was

 

Who needs a plug when you canwedge in a 6oz lead

On my way home last night I noticed that the sea was pounding in over the wall at the Maidens Harbour, near Girvan, Fantastic, Cod fishing on Monday night should be good.

 

What a change this morning, hard frost, no wind, FLAT SEA... tonight could be tough, I expect we will be plagued by whiting.

 

Still it beats having to watch the soaps on TV.

 

see you later Tack4.

Hi Tack4,

Thanks for the company last night, Adam and I enjoyed the session, Better fishing than I expected, some of the Haddock were a reasonable size.

Here's to the next outing, Maybe even get a Cod.

You had to bring it up didn't yah

 

Its called improvisation and when you have launched and find you dont have a plug with you its a case of use what works.

 

Im now looking for a mold that casts 6oz leads with a 1/2 " bsp threaded section

 

Enjoyed the trip out and I guess you enjoyed the match after. Hope to make it to whitby this weekend as there is a rumour going around that one or two are being caught there

cheers Barry was good to be out and finally get into a fish but the walk back up the hill is a killer the air is much thinner at my altitude and i think i sufferd because of it.

 

how you getting on with the nests?
