Well another successfull trip out on the meerkat. me and jonty set of this morning at 6.30am.
boat in the water by 8.30am and fishing by 9am.
NO COD all day but whiting and plaice, only 1 taker plaice for me
we dropped a crab pot out before with got to our mark and picked it up on the way back.
to find about 10 crabs 2 whiting and a flatty that was the high light of my day.
top day jonty (next time remember to pack your sea legs john )

good to see you getting out chaps

If you'd been catching Cod on a 7m tide on your boat off the Fylde coast, I'd have been amazed. They demand a stronger tide run to feed with any intent. You need at least 8,5m to expect Cod feeding. 9m is about the perfect tidal strength. It's amazing how these perfect Cod tides coincide with bad weather though, at this time of year. Still, looking at the photograph you had considerably better weather than I have today. The fog never lifted at all in Gisburn today.

great stuff chris n jonty glad you had a good day out , boat looks a treat credit to you all of you who worked on it

Nice one, pleased you both had a good day, looking at the the pic good weather too
