Report on-board Sea Otter 2
Today was the first day of the spring festival the forcast wasnt to bad we sailed at 7am the there was a breeze from the southwest but it wasnt long before the wind dropped away and the sea turned more or less flat today the lethal weapon was once baited shads or squid fished whole on a single hook .
The day got off to a slow start but i assured the lads things can change extremy fast and it did.
We fished out on the 9 mile and picked off some nice codlings but i new where i wanted to be as the tide eased late morning.
the tide today was quite big and through the strength of the tide the fishing was allways going to be better as the tide eased due to the algie in water .
At 9am i decide i decided to go for a cruise to wrecks up the coast but only 4 or 5 miles from the shore as we arrived at the first wreck the wind had allmost gone near on perfect conditions.
a slow drift a few fish came up more or less straight away but i decide to move to the next wreck and it was bingo the first drift all the rods were into fish everybody was pulling in cod we had near on 3 cracking hours fishing again.
All the lads were into fish most of the time we didnt manage to get any monsters today the best going over 9lb but quite a lot of fish around the 7lb mark and loads around 5-6lb plus we had our first pussy cat this year a catfish around the 6lb mark.
all in all the lads had a very nice day it is very early days in the competition there was a much biggier fish lost today and i am sure finger crossed we could see a cod going well into the teens before the end of the competition.
Local lad paul britain an ex trawlerman who is a tool pusher on the rigs paul is now a keen angler and got his first real taste of catching cod on shads he loved it.
One of the lads with a nice brace from today .
