    We were able to get out today so i went to a mark that i fished a week or so ago to see if the fish were still there, after a short time we started to get in to the COD, With fish up to 7lb then one of the rods took off and after a short fight we landed an 11lb THORNBACK RAY , The total for the day was 20 COD to 7lb and 1 THORNBACK to 11lb.

    We have had gales all week so when the forcast was for "ONLY STRONG WINDS" we made the most of it, The wind was strong but we could get some shelter from the sandbanks and shoreline in the BLACKWATER, A short trip to a mark that fished well on these small tides last year and we were fishing, I had 9 hire rods on the RAZORBILL 2 but they are willing to learn so it gives you more time to help( and make tea!).
    WHITING were the first fish aboard but then one of the rod nearly went over the side and after a good fight a fine THORNBACK RAY of 8lb was on the deck, After casting out again the angler had another one almost as soon as the bait hit the sea bed, A smaller THORNBACK RAY around 4lb,Not a bad start, The CODLING soon followed with fish up to 5lb, and thats,s how the day went, WE had 16 CODLING to 5lb, 4 THORNBACK RAYS to 8lb, WHITING,POUTS and DOGS, The day was bright and sunny and the wind decreased in the afternoon, As we went in the sun was going down over the land and the sea was calm, The anglers all had a great day and i have the best job in the world.

    Saturday was the only day that we would get out this weekend and with strong winds forcast for the afternoon i fished the river, Some of the other boats went out and i did wonder if i had made the wrong move but as it turned outwe had a fair day, With 18 COD to 5lb plenty of WHITING and DABs, There was plenty of bites and fish to keep the anglers occupied and AGAIN we didn,t lose the day to strong winds.

    With the weather forcast for gales all week Tuesday will be the only day we will get out, It was a bright sunny day with a strong S West breeze we were able to fish the river, The flood gave us some sport with about 12 CODLING up to 6lb and some large WHITING, A short move on the Ebb and as the tide picked up the fish started to bite, With another 16 COD up to 7 1/2 and more big WHITING it was a good day.

    With the weather on Friday and Saturday too bad to go out it was left to Sunday to get out, The forcast was 5 to 7 South West going South east but as i turned up at the FREE car park (you don,t have to pay to park when you go fishing) the rain stopped and the sun started to shine what a change from Saturday, With only two anglers on the boat there would be plenty of room, AS i have said before we are very lucky with our river it holds a lot of good fish and with 14 COD up to 7lb and lots of Whiting we had plenty to do.

    Report on-board Razorbill 3

    Well over the past week the fishing has improved with more and better size fish landed on the boat,CODLING from 2 1/2lb up to 11lb, We are still getting numbers of THORNBACK RAY with the largest i have landed on the boat a fine fish of 15lb, WHITINGS are more numerous with good size fish up to 2lb, DABS are starting show up in more numbers and we are still getting DOGFISH. I would expect the COD fishing to get better with more and better fish but i think the THORNBACK RAYS will start to thin out as we get into DECEMBER, We still have one or two dates free before Christmas for indeviduals/groups so give me a ring. You can see more at my web site.

    the fishing has been good but patchy. yesterday we had a nice run of cod but were pestered by a seal. today we headed back to the same mark in the hope he had gone away. thankfully he had and once the tide was under way we saw some cod coming aboard. we totalled 11 cod and 7 roker. not a missive haul but they were quality fish. the biggest cod went 8.8lbs and a a couple of the roker were around the double figure mark. not bad fishing concidering the drop in the tides. when the sprats turn up the cod will pilke on the pounds so dont missout on decembers fishing. see our website for a weekly fishing update aswell as available dates.
