Again excellent report and pictures, well done

Excellent report and images!(y)

Hard lines, with your session. With the cart wings do you just whip it straight onto the hook with the lug already on?

Thanks

I don't put the videos up to make people watch them, that's why I like to write a long report

Sometimes you just have to go when a chance arises! Cart is crab cart - the inside of edible crabs

After the strong Southwesterlys we have had over the last couple of days, I saw that the wind was dropping down and that meant an opportunity for some codling, but I would have to endure another silly o'clock session for low water at 4.15am.

As the Fylde coast hasn't been fishing well recently due to the weather, I decided this weekend to head over to the Mersey to try to catch some codling. The mark I fished was Eastham Slab, I had never fished there before. My plan was to arrive at 1am and to fish the flood up to high at 4.45am...

I've seen a couple of other anglers with that particular one. Thanks for the tip and nice fish!
