Species Hunting

Report - Silver Spray - Needles

Date - 09/12/08

The first day of a 3 day planned session with Andy. We were met by a stiff Northerly breeze, but the Needles on the IOW would provide protection for us.

Within minutes of dropping the anchor - the rods were nodding, and pout, whiting, and dogs were soon on board. Then as the tide started to slacken off, I had a much better bite, and wound into a lovely 8lb cod.



We picked up another slightly smaller cod (same stamp though) before low water, then it went quiet. Once the tide started to flood, the fish came back on the feed, with jumbo whiting being the mainstay along with the ever present pout.

Another cod of around 6lb took a shine to a single squid, and that drew the day to a close nicely. No lunkers but plenty of action.
