Your Codding Me!!!!

I have been very busy this last few weeks and have not got out fishing as much as planned!!
Last minute plans to head to Donegal to fish with Graham Smith did not go to plan on Saturday so I decided to stay local on Sunday. The weather forecast was poor so I planned to fish a new location in Strangford Lough for shelter, but on Sunday morning the sea here was flat calm.............Well for a while any way...

Around 10am I met a fellow Kayak angler Andrew McGarvey who also lives local, After a quick chat and rigging our kayaks we set out.

Poor weather is no match for the Jackson kayak Kraken!!!!

We dropped a few rigs on the way out picking up some fresh Mackerel for bait, but once out of the shelter of the bay things got very interesting, the sea state was deteriorating by the second!!!!

 
Andrew enjoying the adventure :)


Once on my usual mark, a small reef just out of the shelter of the bay I baited up with small Mackerel strips on my favorite rig from Shamrock Tackle the Bleeding Glow worms.
First drop I had a small male Cuckoo Wrasse then things went dead for an hour, but to be honest with the tough conditions I sort of expected a very poor days fishing.........................................




Things where looking grim to say the least until I pulled out a new product I purchased from www.fish-dynamix.co.uk.
Bio Glow cotton bait elastic, everyone has been raving on this last while over social media about how good this product is.................But really how good can a bait elastic really be??
Well iv seen plenty of pics floating around the web of great results so why not give it a try!!!!
I also purchase a Herring scented Bio Edge Wand from them to try.............Hooks baited, wrapped a few times with the bait elastic and a rub of the Herring scented wand and down they went.

First up was a triple.........
 
Two Codling and a Poor Cod.

Well this is a very productive mark so no big deal!!!!!!!!
Baited up again and sent the bait back down..............BANG fish on again.............Literally as soon as the weight touched the bottom........Thump, Thump every time for the rest of the session.

  


BioGlow Bait elastic from Fish-Dynamix..............


Another one of many triple hook ups............

The fishing never stopped for the few hours I was out the Cod where actually starting to annoy me as well as fatigue my arms winding the buggers relentless for around 70 feet of water. So when a lonely Ling turned up and a few more Cuckoo Wrasse as well as a few more Mackerel it put a little more variety into the session.





This greedy sod had a Dab stuffed down its throat and still wanted what was on my hooks..........

I had one of the best fishing sessions yet this year and in mental bad conditions, with easily 40/50 Cod landed and returned, Mackerel, Wrasse, Ling and poor cod. The Bioglow bait elastic and BioEdge Wands definitely seam like a game changer. I am already planning my next adventure to get out there and see what else they can lure out of the depths..............................
   





Until my next adventure
Tight lines!!!!
