Well the snow has all but gone and the howling wind has abated so we headed up onto the cliffs near Staithes last night. It turned out to be a cold night and by the end of the night my feet were freezing. I lost a decent codling as I hoisted it out of the water to start its 300 foot journey up the cliffs and that was more or less my only action of the night. Martin finished the night with one codling around 2 or 3lb and Rob left us to head down onto the rocks below around mid tide with 2 codling under his belt.
Rob and Martin were muttering half heartedly about it maybe being their last session of the 2017/2018 winter cod season which made losing the better fish even more disappointing. I always enjoy fishing off the cliffs but a tiny part of me is always relieved to get off in one piece with all my kit intact.
Here's to the rest of the year.... carp, perch, pollock, thornbacks and cod... plus anything else that comes my way
