Codding in the Solent

[darnsarf]

2nd or 3rd could be good

i knew it , a soft southerner beats me to it Fighting fit again , bouncy castle parties out of the way , just the small problem of a pike meet to get out of the way and numerous xmas parties. I'm on my way Seado , for a proper Cumbrian Cod! Trust you'll sort out the wind

 

Ps Nice Fish Richi

 

Yep Martin assembling a circle of stones to perform a wind ritual as we speak ha ha

 

Shame I can't make the pike meet, looks great (same kitchen units as ours by the way ) Hope to see plenty of pics afterwards

Dave, that there circle of stones aint working, But I have now found a shop in Barrow

Called TOP MARK sells Bikes, wind surfing gear, very large kites, and sit on Kayaks thats

got the Prowler 13 and I dont know if I can wait for a Hobie sport. I realy like the look of the

13 but the only one that thay have at the moment is a Green one and I dont want that colour.

I would be mowed down in no time in Walney Channel.

 

After seeing pics of the cod I want a Kayak now before they have gone but I have always

got the Bass to look forward too.

 

hope them stones start working soon for you and the rain stops.

Thanks for that link, the local shop said he will also include a top quality

paddle for £499, so if I do go for the Prowler I think I buy from them as

they have a very good after sales reputation and less than a mile from

home.

 

And Seadoodave has managed to slow the wind down today by about 2mph

in Cumbria so keep doing your stone dance Dave.

Sorry for the late congrats Richi, another worthy speciman, you might find a few people rubbing against you for luck at the Pike meet

 

Don't forget your sail, 35mph winds on Saturday

Once you have all the gear on (pfd, cag etc) you should be visible enough, and you have your paddle to signal with if push comes to shove, you could even add a thin whip flagpole to stern to advertise where you are mate . As for the cod, they are all year round at the mark I have in mind and only 25 mins paddle out!.

 

I am gonna have to step up the stone dance mate, you are right it isn't working very well! Although I could have got out today from here, it wasn't too bad (I look at the sea all day as part of my job! sounds nice, but frustrating when I have to work, especially when its oily calm ) Will PM you the mark I have in mind when you make 15 posts only a few more to go mate

Hi Dave I am going to order one in Blaze and hopefully fit it out like the one on Anglers Afloat

Project Prowler.

I will have to get some practice in with the paddle as only been out with canoe and a Double

Kayak half a dozen times before but done lots of rowing in the past, It will be all new really.

 

I Dont want to end up as fish food so I will have to make sure I can handle it before

I venture out to your Cod Mark with you. I hope I can show you around my area some

time for the Bass I normaly use Sandeel and Bubble float its real good sport but in my

chest waders not in a yak so it will be even better.

 

The tide run is quit fast whats it like ancoring in a strong run is it OK

 

Thanks
