December - More Of The Same!

More of the same weather and the same fishing. When you can get out (which I think for me was twice) there are plenty of cod and bass around willing to take the baits. 
Winter has really got a grip now and those icy morning starts can play havoc with car, tractor and boat batteries. Things that you take for granted for the rest of the year suddenly become problems - like an iced up impeller that won't pump water through the engine, frozen hoses and numb useless fingers! Efforts however don't go unrewarded and if you put in the hard work it often pays off....

 There seemed to be a ton of sprats showing on the sounder which were also being coughed up on deck as most the fish had eaten a fair few...Next trip will be 2015.. Happy New Year!
