Had a half day with work so thought I would target a longshot cod from the Tamar. Well not to put to finer point on it I couldn’t get past the straps during my brief morning session. Some did their level best to fool me into thinking a cod had slack lined me, but, all too soon it became apparent it was just another slimy wriggler?‍♂️

Weirdly, did better on the squid than the fresh joey that I caught, dispatched and launched in the space of 2 mins, couldn’t get fresher bait if I tried.

Also, my experiment of using breakaway imps for big baits was a complete disaster, so back to the old impact shields for me or if I am feeling flush the red head 6oz impact lead.

Still an enjoyable mornings dangling and pleased to get a bend in the bigger rods, even if Conger aren’t everyones cup of tea.
 
Great report and pics, well done on catching s few, even if they weren't the target.
 
Nice report & photos Flipper! ??
 
Nice snakes.
Shame the unicorns were not grazing.
