well i'l be out, but its to much hassel to drive to poole so i'l just be fishing for fun. Hopefully see one or two of you out there. I'l be on xray i suspect.
Wrap up warm if your out tomorrow. That wind was bitterly cold out there today.
Just one cod on board today and not alot else very slow all day.
Ill be out again tomorrow looking for that monster cod. I hope the wind drops off compared with today. it was abit uncomfortable at times.
I decided that the grinch should stay on the mooring and opted for a charter boat instead.
38ft, warm dry cab, tea/coffee on tap, microwave and toilet or a warrior 165.
I love my boat but itwasnt a hard choice.
159 anglers 15 private boats 14 charters 22 cod landed 1st 19lb 2 11 lb 3rd 10 8 good turn out but very cold

Does that seem like really cr@p fishing to anyone else????
A 1 in 7 chance of landing a fish and then they aren't very big?
Sorry to sound negative, but considering it's brass monkies out there you'd hope for better odds?
Bah Humbug and Happy New Year
Does that seem like really cr@p fishing to anyone else????
yep 
Might be worth reporting those stats to the EU re the proposed Recreational Sea Angling Fish quotas
The figures speak for themselves "Inshore Fishing is Rubbish!!"......compared to when I were a Lad.......... 
Mind You that was 45 years ago and where I fished there was absolutely NO inshore commercial trawling
