It's almost that time again

[Jonah]

Anybody else starting to dust their gear down and throw a few rigs together in anticipation of the 1 or 2 codling that may make an appearance over the coming weeks?

Can't beat a freezing cold sunrise with a cod nodding away on your rod.

We don’t usually get much of a cod season locally and I’ve fallen out of love with chesil a bit.

Hoping to start doing some upper BC trips in a month or so…

Good luck with your Cod ventures mate.

Very few cod caught off the beach / rocks in Pembrokshire ( The odd one from Pembroke dock) but there seems to be quite a few caught from the reefs on the boat.

Had my 1st one of the season this weekend in Whitby. Only small, but was welcome none the less...

 

[Wolf]

A good start to the season mate

 

[Shirleycodlin]

I want to believe.
But I honestly don't know if I can take another winter of disappointment.
One more codless winter could see me purchasing a bivvy and matching real tree advantage cammo rods n reels.

He’ll probably cut out the carp part and just go straight to the weed and cider stage
