COD IOW

[nickg191]

Hi All,

Anyone seen any COD yet? New to the forum as just picking up my new boat after a couple years out. Fishing in the Cod open on 13th November from Southsea marina and wondering if anyone has seen any with the warmer water/weather still here.

A handful have been showing from shore in the east Wight area over the last month or so, but TBH it's more by luck than judgement at the moment.

Cant help in the IOW. But chesil they are throwing themself up the beach.

I was talking to a commercial fisherman a few days ago who'd had 40 in a trawl between Lepe and the Island, so they're probably fished out now.
He made good money though, nice plate sized fillets.

That's alright then...

I was going to end with one last word, begins with c ends with t.

They've also done the same sort of thing my end of the Solent Ian

A few small ones caught in Chichester Harbour on the flood - but not mine!

Must be a few around. We normally get a run of codling & then it goes dead with the odd big lump in Nab area.

we managed to get out on November 13th, tried a couple spots Culver spit, fingers bank and south nab. Had the 2 above which were only interesting fish as I was plagued with Conger eels again. Seem to do well fishing for conger eel, must of had 30 that day.

Any advice to avoid the congers? They drive me nuts.

 

[Ianpick]

Very pretty fish.

I hate congers, slimy horrible things.
If they are there then you simply can't avoid them, beach or boat.

Anyone fishing the SMAC Cod comp this Sunday? Weather looks good for it. I’m taking my new boat out with a mate and fishing it. (Merry fisher marlin 895) if anyone’s going, would be good to say hi on the day.

Good luck to you Nick …. I am just across the water in Havant. Hope the fishing goes well for you and you get to “Cod Christen” your new boat
