End of December

Managed to get out for the last two days of the year. Sunday was the Poole bay Cod Comp. Had two cod both under ten pounds. Also had 9 congers and a good selection of whiting, pouts and dogs.

Chan with an 8lber caught before the squid ran out.

Mark Palmer with a 6lb fish just in the prizes.

On Monday returned to the same mark. Sea was even calmer but the fishing was much slower with only one conger plus a big fish broken off during the morning. Then Geoff Warburton from Farnham hooked a wonderful cod of 27lb. Would have been worth a lot of money 24hours earlier! Anyway Geoff's first cod and an excellent fish to finish 2007.

Dan Smith with a 30lb+ IOW conger photographed then released. (his wife thinks he looks like a tramp bring more makeup next time Dan!)

I'd like to wish all of you that have fished on Silver Spray a very happy New Year. Thank you for your support and making 2007 a memorable year despite the the weather and fishing being difficult at times. The best of our catches are recorded in this blog and I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have. I'm looking forward to seeing you on Silver Spray with tight lines in 2008.
