South West A quick January roundup ?

[Si-fly]

Hi guys, sorry I've not posted, been busy fishing and doing stuff at home.
I'm also not a fan of long dark nights and cold either, so always a struggle to drag the old bones out this time of year .

Anyway, it's been a bit of a Thorny fest.... Bloody things been out en mass, on the warmer days I've ventured out. So many the cod just don't get a look in ?
Having a quick count up, I've had over 50 since new year, nice size fish, mostly females in the 7.5-9.5lb bracket with a couple of doubles to 11lb+


I've also had a few eels when the rays didn't show, best going 11, 15, 16.

Also found a few bass to 4+, again when the rays were quiet!
The rays did wear me down eventually, and I had an evening down Weymouth last week on the squid.
First trip for a couple of months down there, but was worth the drive, managed a few nice squid to eat and use as bait ?

That's about it bar a few dogs, a codlet and a few tings and crabs!

I'm away for a few weeks now so will keep you posted if I find any fish on my travels ?
Cheers Si.

Cheers Guys. I been a bit lazy mostly fishing local marks which are full of flat rats atm. I did have 2 trips after huss/spurs further west, but even had a flat rat follow me there ?
Other than that it was the normal dogs/straps on those trips for me, although my mate did get a nice 11.09 huss.
