    Report on-board Discovery

    Friday 9th November 2012 - Individuals -

    Today saw us briging some new and old faces back out aboard Discovery. We set off up the river and began fishing. The anglers who had been out before began fishing while the new faces amongst us were given a demonstration on bait and the rods/reels etc. It didnt take long for Fiona to catch the first Cod of the day weighing in at just under 2lb. H who was fishing at the front began pulling in some nice sized whiting untill he had his first cod of the day at 3lb, closely follwed by another of 2lb 6oz.
    Plenty more Cod were pulled aboard with until Robbie who was fishing from a boat for the first time decided to hook into a lovely Cod that gave him a good fight right the way to the surface. It wasnt until we were unhooking the fish that we noticed another rig was hanging from the side of the cods mouth. The fish weighed in at 7lb 9oz. Daz was looking at the rig when he noticed that the rig was similar to the one that Nick who was fishing with us on wednesday used. So comparing the rigs that Nick had left with us and this rig showed that they were infact identical, the knots were the same, swivels hooks and the lenght. This may well have been the fish that Nick lost on wednesday and we hooked and landed it 2miles further down the river 2 days later. But credit to Robbie for landing such a lovely fish on his first time boat fishing. Total fish for the day was 13 cod to 7lb 9 oz with plenty of whiting and dabs.

    A superb day fishings
