Codding in the Solent

[richi]

Fished a mark in the Solent that me and Phooey have fished a couple of times,just got back in now.

Launched at 1830 bait was lug and squid. First fish was a whiting

 

 

followed by umpteen doggies

 

 

followed by a huge pout

 

 

followed by a 6 1/4lb COD!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

I just can't believe my luck!

 

there were quite a few shore anglers and when I landed(at exactly the same place thanks to the gps)I got one of them to take this pic

SUPERB Richi Don't forget to give it a day or two before you eat the cod or it won't be as tasty!!! Enjoy mate, can't wait to get back out to my mark and get some of those babies!! Yummy

i knew it , a soft southerner beats me to it Fighting fit again , bouncy castle parties out of the way , just the small problem of a pike meet to get out of the way and numerous xmas parties. I'm on my way Seado , for a proper Cumbrian Cod! Trust you'll sort out the wind

 

Ps Nice Fish Richi

Cracking fish Rich.

 

Did you know that fresh cod taste's just as good when it's been frozen for uh say about 6 or 7 day's, and I'm sure Martin H said there was cooking facilities in our dig's next week

 

Only joking m8, enjoy them fillets.

 

That gives me an idea, I'm on nights all this week which will give me a chance to put the cod lines out all week. With a bit of luck we might be eating cod for tea on friday night

Brilliant Again Richi Were you tied up to Pot buoys or anchored?

 

Only the Flounder to go now and you'll have the full set

 

Well Done,

Stu

Lovely cod!

 

I hope to catch a 1/2 decent cod soon, a monster like that would be nice too.

 

Great report mate

sounds like a good plan to me

Of course Rich, and Pike! but that's the start of a whole new series to collect

 

Would you say the bulk of your fish this year though have been caught whilst tied to pot buoys or just anchored? Just interested, as there does seem to be some advantage in tying up to them, especially if you know which end of the fleet is which, and if they've just been baited. Curious
