On Sunday night, Lancashire sea fishing member Dave Brown fished near Fleetwood, spending an hour on the flood near the point which only produced little codling and a dab. Dave then switched to the Cadet Base ready for the ebb and had a successful session fishing at 80 yards out with cod and whiting. Most fish were caught on a two hook, clipped down rig using half a sandeel and frozen black lugworm, while the majority of the codling were taken on a Pennel rig using black worm, razorfish and crab.
Matt James fished near Victoria Road, Clevelys on Sunday, where he enjoyed a fairly productive session with plenty of good double shots of decent bad sized whiting. The biggest measured 32cm with a fair few others around the 30cm mark, only other species was a tiny codling.
Wyre Boat Angling Club members Kevin Fletcher and his dad Brian fished off Rossall at the weekend and landed four cod weighing in at 1½lb, 2½lb, 4lb and 6lb. They also caught loads of small codling, whiting and a single dogfish. All the fish where caught on flowing traces with the bigger fish falling to fresh black lug tipped with razorfish. Another boat out at the same time had just the one 3lb cod together with whiting and two thornback ray, the biggest being around 7lbs.
