Catch Reports: 15th and 16th of December '08

After the run of exellent fishing over the past week we half expected to be disappointed by the following week when the tides increased. As it happens the fishing continues on a par with last week producing another four cod in two days. The 15th got off to a quick start with Andrew Leigh catching a 21lber in excellent condition, followed in the afternoon by a 5lber to finish the day off. The 16th was a little slow off the mark with only dogfish to show for the morning but the afternoon more than made up for it when Gary Copperthwaite caught a superb 22lber at the height of the tide followed straight away by a 21lber. As you can see from the photo the second fish is missing its fins and was bleeding quite badly. This is most probably due to being run over by a beam trawler shortly beforehand. Both days came with the usual quota of dogfish, pout and whiting, well done to all the anglers who fished.
