Otterspool last night

I've been meaning to fish otterspool for a while
now and when zippie asked if I fancied it Friday night
I didn't have to think twice.

Me and mark arrived around 9:30pm and should
have met zippie on the car park but we were
chomping at the bit to wet our lines I sort of
forgot that little detail (sorry zippie) who was
in the car park waiting for us.    





On marks first cast he pulled in this little fella



I was getting bites but I don't think they were always from fish



After about an hour mark had a slack liner which turned out to be this cod





It took me a while to catch my first but better late than never



I decided to see how zippie was doing a little further up the prom
as I arrived zippie was reeling in a little rockling



And then 10mins later a little cod





On my way back to where I was fishing I got talking to another
angler who was on one of our boat trip's earlier on in the year
who himself wasn't having a bad night's fishing but his mate perry
had blanked.



We only caught one more fish before we headed home which was
this decent size whiting for mark.



It was a lovely night to be out fishing and otterspool it's self
is a great comfortable venue and will be getting a few more visit's from us  
thanks for the invite zippie we'll do it again

Looks a good night, you'll be sounding like a local if you fish up that way much more!

Well done chaps.

Itll be interesting to see what is being caught in the big 2 day open there this weekend

Nice one Steve looks a nice spot.

Well done lads

Nice one lads

I squeezed inbetween all the guys fishing the open today, a few fish came out but it seemed slow going all along. I got a couple of whiting, 4 weeks in a row and no cod yet!!

Thanks for doing the report Stevo. I would of had more fish but was stood waiting around the car park for ages lol.
It was a shame it didn't fish better, I had 6 whiting, a 5b rockling and my small codling was exactly 2lb and went back to get bigger.
