My 3rd and final day down South. the forecasters had for once got the weather right, and today was the ideal winter fishing day.
Again we steamed over to the Needles, only to be greeted by another 15 or so boats. We slung the hook over, and as it was Tuesday - it was bites right away! These were predominantly channels, (to 3.5 - 4lb), along with big pout, and dogs. The chap fishing in the middle of th estern then had a cracking bite and wound up a nice cod of 7lb or so, minutes later I had a cracking take on a single squid, I let off some line, tightened and felt the nodding of a cod.
Again, about 8lb or so. Another 3 cod followed, all around the same stamp. The big channels kept on coming throughout the ebb, and over the slack. All too soon we had used up the last of the bait (20+lb of squid!!!!!), so it was time to head back to Poole.A lovely 3 days away, super company, a few beers, fantastic weather, and some good fishing to boot - doesn't really get any better.
