Just in case your wondering what a Penn flotation suit is I keep going on about, this is me in it

I spent to day and night fishing today. I got a phone call from Rob who I haven't heard from since the summer and he wondered if I wanted to go fishing. I was already going to pick up my Nephew Tom to go fishing at 4pm but changed plans and picked him up at about midday.

It was gale force winds and pouring with rain. Rob only managed to fish for 2 hours before he got too cold/wet and went home and Tom bless him lasted until 4pm. All I had on was a teeshirt and my flotation suit and I was boiling as usual. I'm going to keep going about the Penn suit because it just kicks so much ass :)

We didn't catch anything during the day (as usual down there) but I went back at 6pm and there was no stopping the pulls. First of all I had 2 hooks and one had rag worm while the other had Squid. The rag was getting all the bites but the fish were quite small. I then combined the rag and squid on each hook and the results were staggering. I ended up with 6 cod, a few pollock, a few whiting and this Dogfish which weighed in just under 2lb

Not as good as my summer dogfish but still not bad for the pier.

The combining of the squid and rag really made a big difference and it suddenly attracted much bigger fish.
