A quick blast around the bay saw a number of the usual suspects over a wide range of marks.
On the way down in the car it was chilly with 0 to 1 on my thermometre.
I have to say I was quite pleased to just be out for a spin rather than sitting all day in it.
The few people I spoke to all had the same story... not a good one.
Alun and Gordon appeared to have done best inshore near the Table Top with a clonking whiting and a 30lb eel plus a few bits n pieces, but nobody appeared to have any cod.
Martin said he had heard of a couple being caught, but none in any numbers.
This was all around 15:00 so what was the final outcome?
The day had apparently started beautifully with a flat calm sea, when I went out it was just beginning to lump up a bit and was decidely bumpy in the swash with the last of the ebb being pushed up into a fairly confused sea by the wind.
How did it end up?

Ominous silence Tom........

I heard that at least two of our boats had cod onboard but am awaiting a call after the prizegiving
No doubt someone who fished will enlighten those of us who could not..

1st day back at work for me, but I did here of 5 cod caught - between 180 + anglers, I also understand that 2 of these were caught on club boats!
...Im sure we will get a full run down later!
I've also heard that five were landed. I thought last year was poor with just nine 
The comp is gonna be known as 'Catch a cod and win a prize competition'....... 
Is it against the rules to just enter the competition and just go home and come back down for the raffle in the evening? Those of us at work could still enter then. 
Cod at Last!!
And what a time to get one!
This little baby of 13lb 3oz got me first place as the small boat winner.

Tom this was at the back of the IOW
The fish was caught at 1:30pm and was the only Cod Bite
We got about 5 small congers up to 20lb but that was about it.
This whole week has been pants fishing for me so im still in shock that i've actually won something
