plan was to fish sunrise to sunset over low , up to high and 1st of the ebb . sea state was settled with a touch of colour , but clear blus skys to start with and a n/w wind . as the day went on the cloud cover built with odd showers and wind turned westerly and strenghtened .
was going to fish one rod with a 3/0 pennel pulley , with fresh black lug . the other was going to be a simple 1/0 , 2 hook clipped down rig , with diffrents baits lug , squid and crab . 1st couple of hours where doggies , pout , poor cod and whiting . then once the sun got higher , they went off the feed . thank god . then about a hour before low had my 1st slack liner . to my suprise out popped a plump little cod :-* :-* :-* kieth who i went down with came over and did the weighing and photos for me .
5lb4ozs

then 30 minutes later another
6lbs1oz

then it went dead again , till i bagged a small red gurnard

then a couple of hours went by with out a touch . at this point was happy that i had bagged to cod . when i had another slack liner . out popped cod number 3 :-* :-* :-*
4lb9ozs

as you can imagine by now I'm buzzing . others are watching me like a hawk now as theres not been a lot caught all day . then i started to get dabs and a couple of missed slack liners . was taliking to kieth about calling it a day . when on the last 2 casts . had another 2 cod
5lb3ozs

smallest of the day 3lbs

so ended up with a right mixed bag and 5 cod . so guess my cod season under way . all the cod came to feash black lug , fished at long range and a new spieces . happy days

Brilliant report,full of Coddies and promise for us other mere mortals who venture onto the Shingle Bank during the autumn and winter.

Going by the shingle size,I'm guessing Abbotsbury with the terrian behind the bank.....still no matter....you had a successful day and thats all that counts.

I too enjoy the Whiting and Coddies from the Cottages at Abbotsbury and I'm hoping the coming winter gives up a few.
