With a weather window on the cards Leo and I hatched a plan to have a go at the Solent cod. We contacted @Andy135 to see if he wanted to join us, but he decided to get his hair done instead and blame the wife!! 🤷🏻♂️
Tarlach Too slipped the mooring at 8am and made a quick 20 minute journey to the Bramble bank, we fished south of the bank just out side Cowes harbour in 16.5m. Not massive tides Saturday so 10oz of lead was all that was required.
There were plenty of whiting about, nothing massive. Biggest went to about 30cm. We had a few double hook ups. Leo had a nice little strap and we had plenty of dogs. One even had a weird circular patch of spotted skin on its belly. Just like it had had a skin graft.
No cod, but we ended with 12 whiting, 10 dogs and a strap. But to be fair it was just lovely to be out in a beautiful sunny November day.
Sea temp was 13.8 deg, which is maybe why the cod have not turned up yet??
Anyway, I caught more fish than the boy so that's all that counts!!

Oh and a crab..
