Codling, whiting, pouting and dogfish aboard Sweet William

We headed off late this morning, unfortunately missing the dawn fishing and back end of the ebb tide, to avoid the inconveniently timed slack water.

The conditions were great, very light to no wind on occasions, with a lazy swell which was forecast to build later in the afternoon.

We dropped the anchor on the the inner rough ground and immediately began to pick up some chunky whiting and pouting in good numbers for sport, with some of the guys using feather traces taking up to a dozen each.

Once the flood tide started pushing, the perfect pan sized codling started coming aboard, again in good numbers, with some of the guys taking about five or six each for the pan.

Last season, thankfully, we didn't see a single dogfish come aboard; only to have multiple come aboard in one session today!

At around 1:30pm, the 2.2 metre northerly swell forecast for Sunday started to roll through and build noticeably. Towards the back end of the flood the guys were pretty much fished out, so we headed home mid afternoon after a cracking day out!
