went out today on my mates boat the ellie-mac,,hard work today finding any fish,,ended up with 1/2 dozen codling all about the 3lb mark,,plenty makerel and plenty whiteys,,have tried the shads before but never really gave them a decent go,,thought i would give them a good try out today and i will be using them a lot more now,,had 4 cod on them and were even getting whiteys on them,,some of the whiteys were just under 2lb and were taking the shads for fun,,all the fish were full of sprat and when we were coming in the sprat were showing everywhere on the sounder,,just got in in time as it started tipping down with rain,,another good day to be out.
